I'd reach for the insect repellant before the tinfoil hat. Anyone know offhand an insect with a two year life cycle that has some significant stage that peaks around September?

Even if such insect exists, they would have alternating two groups that would appear like annual, like cicadas.

Or appear every 13 or 17 years, like some cicadas.

This is a great natural wonder. Thank you.
It also invalidates my logic. Maybe there could be some vector with biannual periodicity.
