If not, you're in for a real treat.

I see they first showed up in Allentown, Pa in 1998:

I quit growing peppers a couple of years ago as they were mottling the

Hopefully a natural predator will set in and keep them in check.

They are funny coming into the house when fall sets in and leaving in
the spring.
