All of our conifers are populated. Not sure what was the intention, I know that some military installations were covered with them, it's something that Red Army planners brought. can't make aerial pictures of an area covered with evergreens in winter, can they.

Nah, that's the scarab rolling a dungball, nice and warm for their eggs.

Oh yeah. Last week I found one near my armpit, it climbed me in the garden.
They are more frequent in darker, wetter, northerly hillsides and valleys tho, I don't like crossing the brush in those areas. On the other hand there's a meadow on a top of a hill not too far, looking south. It's dry and open. I laid there many times, just in the grass, never a got tick.
