Up here in the north we have some kind of leaf-worm for the second year. If it survive the winter and attack the trees for 3rd time in a row, forest is gone for many many years. A little valley was attacked 40 years ago, still lookin kinda burned out, no trees..
We're hoping for an oldfashion winter, with at least a couple of weeks -35 celsius below.
But mother nature got her ways, and its not much one can do about it.
Fascinating tho, reality beats fiction every time
