They don't seem to be so much as flying as drifting on the air currents.
I assume they eat vegetation.
We have a lot of Oaks and Hickories, with a large stand of Pine across
the road. I don't know if they are coming out of the trees or where.
Anyone got an idea what they are and what they will attack?
Maybe its a Lace bugs. Lace bugs are usually host specific and can be very destructive to plants.
