Azaleas and lilacs and bugs, oh my!

Yesterday around 3:00 in my front and back yard I observed that the azalea bushes had bloomed. On the pink bush in my backyard there were a lot of buds and one pink flower. It was light pink with a lot of petals and it had a round bowl shape.
The white azalea also has flowers. It's in better shape than the pink one and has lots of open flowers. Its flowers are similar to the pink ones, but they are bright white.
I noticed there that the mosquitos were back. The inchworms are also back. They melt my heart but I really hate them. They ate all the leaves off one of my favorite trees one year. The inchworms are about one and a half cm now. They're usually bright leaf green, with 4-6 legs. They're starting to invade my house now and I just found one hanging on the bookshelf. They're really irritating.
There are also ants. The big ones always get into my house.
Eurgh. :(
Finally, the lilacs have bloomed. They are lavender, with small 1 cm tall flowers. The flowers have four connected petals and come in big bunches on long, tall twigs of the bush. On the twigs below the flowers are scattered leaves.
Those are all the new things I saw yesterday.
