Bug problems on AT thru hike!

[bobbyp68]

I am thru hiking the AT ON 2017. I am using a hammock and was just wondering at what point bugs become a problem, so I can decide if or at what point I need a big net.

If you are a nobo you need a net on the first of June. Sobo from the get go.

10 days ago I was seeing bugs in PA on AT so I think perhaps a warm spring might bring out bugs earlier.
