- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

I used to see so many monarch butterflies when I was a kid in Indiana. So many fireflies too. I don't think I've seen a single monarch since I moved back about a decade ago and hardly any fireflies.
Plant some milkweed in your garden and they'll come. It's literally a weed, so minimal care is required.
Yeah, monoculture is probably the culprit, not climate change.
you would not believe your eyes
Don't rake your leaves up in the fall and don't mow in the spring until you are afraid of being fined. Plant a native garden. I have 3 species of fireflies in my little yard, and there are a lot of them.
We actually do all of that already. We even had a local person from the DNR come in and help us with choosing native plants and getting rid of invasive ones. Very few fireflies. There used to be so many when I was a kid, you could just walk around catching them in your hands in the evening.
