This for real?
We don’t have them in NW Florida, but I dated a girl down south, and yeah, they fall out of trees when it gets cold (for Florida values of cold). She told me about this and I couldn’t stop laughing. “Seriously?! They just plop in the yard and on people’s heads?!”
Yes you can see it yourself. Though it will mostly happen overnight so you’ll wake up to them dormant at the bottom of a tree.
People eat them and it’s a super easy time to catch them
“Chicken of the trees”
It’s rare it gets that cold though especially lately.
Why would you eat them!? They eat mosquitos!
Their primary diet is leafy greens? Also do you have any idea the sheer number of animals that eat mosquitoes?
The gators and snakes slow down too.
Let me emphasize that iguanas (and all sorts of lizards) are everywhere in these parts of Florida.
Anecdote: I once disrupted an ant mound against a wall, and a swarm of lizards came out of hiding to gobble the runners up like a scene out of freakin’ Jurassic Park!
