I live in Port St. Lucie Florida and they are terrible here! Like another guy on here said, you have to keep your mouth closed when your outside walking around because you will get a mouth full of them. They are such an annoyance this time of year. They will destroy your paint if you don't immediately wash them off the front of your car. I don't know if anyone else has noticed but after they are smashed on the front of your car, they smell horrible...
