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).

Yeah! They sleep in trees and when it gets in the 40s something about the cold causes their muscles to stop working and they just fall out of the trees.

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

Why would you eat them!? They eat mosquitos!
Rooster326@programming.dev 4 months ago
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.

Sometimes they just fall outta the trees because they’re cold blooded and it’s too cold.
Not a lot, but sometimes.
