Random crap with Uno.

From what I can gather, it's sounding more like global warming or whatever you want to call it, just allowing it to live here where winters would have previously killed them off.  Explains the proximity to the lake shore as well, warmer there during the winter and all.  How it got introduced in the first place is anyone's guess, but it's not inconceivable to be natural range expansion.  One thing about bugs is they're always changing range like that.

You're cool with the impact on your established bug species?

[Unorthodox]

I can't even find a complete detail of their life cycle, let alone what impact they might impose.  I'm more inclined to wonder about the relatively recent invasion of pepsis wasps and what they're doing to the local spider population, and by extension the local insect population, but that's probably just me showing my wasp/bee specialty more than anything else, and the invasive asian borer beetles turning the forests into tinder boxes is the big news as far as real impact is concerned.

No hope the hanging thiefs will eat the borers, I bet...

Different habitat.

The important thing for them and all predatory insects to do is that they kill mosquitos, without invading homes.
Bite mosquitos before they bite me.

[Buster's Uncle]

I like that.

WTF?  Anyone got a reasonable guess?

Someone conversant in an Asian language recorded a dominos game or was trying to play by correspondence.

I'm sure it's adding as I've figured that one out, but beyond that, don't know.  Maybe the bottom is supposed to all be +0 problems? 

[Buster's Uncle]

Could be.

Doesn't help with the 4 questions up top...

[Buster's Uncle]

Why the Arabic numerals, anyway?

This is Tali's chinese homework. 

[Buster's Uncle]

Ah.  You're just trying to puzzle it out instead of asking?
