Invasion of Winged Aphids: New York City's Bug Infestation
TL;DR Summary
Swarms of aphids have been blanketing New York City, causing annoyance to urban gardeners but posing no harm to humans. The winged bugs are a sign of a healthy environment and are not related to the wildfire smoke on the West Coast. The mass migration of aphids is likely triggered by sustainably warm summer temperatures and will stop as quickly as it started.
