Bug Season

Bug Season answers a question no weather app does: not "is tonight bad", but "which weeks of the year are bad, and because of what". Pick a place — your property, a campsite, a stretch of river — tell it what's on the ground, and see the whole year at once. Black flies in June. Deer flies taking over in July. Ticks running quietly from April to November. And the weeks when none of them are. SEVEN GROUPS, TRACKED SEPARATELY Mosquitoes, black flies, ticks, deer and horse flies, no-see-ums, stable flies and chiggers each have their own season. Lumping them together is how you end up surprised. HABITAT IS THE ANSWER, NOT THE ADDRESS Black flies breed only in moving water. Stable flies come off beach wrack. Chiggers want brushy edge, not deep forest. Tell Bug Season what's actually there and the answer changes — because in reality it does. COMPARE TWO PLACES Put a property you're considering next to one you know, on the same scale, and see which is quieter, when, and because of what. BUILT TO SAY WHAT IT DOESN'T KNOW Some of this is solid published science: stable fly development thresholds, the daylength that shuts mosquitoes down in autumn, when ticks climb vegetation to wait. Some of it is an educated approximation, and the app labels which is which on every single group. No other forecast will tell you that. YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE Free, with every feature open. No account. No ads. No tracking. No subscription. The forecast is computed on your phone. Bug Season is a planning tool, not a measurement. It tells you roughly when and what, not how many bites.
