"For Australians, memories of childhood Christmas often include gifts, prawns
and shooing uninvited buzzing guests away from the pavlova.
But have you ever wondered why the air is full of bugs some years and almost
empty in others? Insect populations boom and bust frequently.
This year is our third successive La Niña, and a wet summer is forecast yet
again for Australia’s east.
Wet, warm weather is ideal for many of the insects, spiders and slugs that
share our homes and gardens. That means we’re likely to have a very buggy
Christmas."
