COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. (AP) -- A mild winter has brought miller moths back to Colorado with a vengeance.

The six- to eight-week migration happens every year along the Front Range, but doesn't usually begin until well into May.

According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, the insects are a nuisance that cannot be controlled. Pest control expert James Whidden says the waves of bugs that are killed off today will be replaced by the next day.
