MODERATORS
Every study performed on insect counts has concluded that overall insect populations are declining, though there is not complete global coverage of data. One study in Germany found that the flying insect population had decreased by 75% from 1990 to 2015.
Nothing scares me quite as much as the thought that I might live to see global ecological collapse.
If you think about it, when was the last time you saw a lighting bug. I've never seen a firefly in my entire life despite living in a country that had native species.
As a kid, I would see hundreds of them around bushes and trees. Now I see one or two per summer.
But that’s all gods plan, right?
