There is a male hanging around Randolph Industrial Park in Southern Dakota County. I've seen that one repeatedly.
Checking my records, I had 6 reports of them in 5 counties this Spring. Since Summer I've had 4 reports, all in different counties. So I've seen NOHAs in 8 different counties this year so far. I don't know how that compares to previous years but offhand, I'd say it's about what I'd expect. I don't run into them that often, just here & there. Maybe it's just your neck of the woods?
