Happy beginning of a new season (in the Northern Hemisphere), and a merry
Christmas to all!

Thanks for this fascinating report, Pete. I've been working with a tiny
insect called the Potato Psyllid of late. It cannot survive cold winters.
But it mass migrates from south to north each season--a one-way trip.
Kinda hard to understand evolutionarily, but means that the species is
continually attempting to expand its northern range. And in step with a
warming Earth, it is doing just that, recently becoming a major pest in
Calif, Oregon, and Texas.
