I have yet to see one here in suburban ATL… I think they were largely up in N. GA last year… we’ll see if they see some this spring here. I think UGA has been asking for people to send them pics of sightings.

I don’t know why I clicked the source link. That’s one palm sized nope.

“The good news? They won’t hurt you.”

Physically… yes, okay. But psychologically?
