Armand Bayou calls out Punxsutawney Phil’s horrible news.

We may not have Punxsutawney Phil down here in SE Texas, but we do have crane flies! 🦟✨ These gangly-legged flyers have been around for 245 million years—longer than dinosaurs! Harmless and a favorite cat toy, they also double as ceiling cleaners (you’re welcome, spiders). Love them or hate them, their wobbly return is a sure sign that spring has arrived!
