This happened to a relative and it turned out to be a serious issue, which they were able to deal with luckily. For weeks after I was so paranoid everytime I saw even one.

sudden significant increase.
Worth noting that it’s totally normal to see a lot more of them if you’re looking at a bright blue sky. That’s when they’ll be more apparent.
