Fsplink expounded:

I was wondering that same thing. We've got a few this year but nothing
compared to last year. I didn't know they came in cycles.

We were in the middle of the peak for the cankerworms, then along came
those fall moths. Last fall/winter they were flying around like snow,
so we're in for a bad year, I fear. I've already started spraying my
cherry with BT.
