Quoted from robotron911:For those of us in our 40s or older, think about your childhood. Do you see bees, or even grasshoppers, lady bugs, butterflies, now like you did when you were a child? For me the answer is, "No". And it's not even remotely close. Climate and habitat change effect the lowest rung of the food chain first and work their way up. I am not a climate fear-mongerer, but the reality is that change is here and some of it is already irreversible.
95% of the public doesn't understand or want to understand that.
Please, Unless the area was crop dusted recently you would have just as many insects today as there was 20 years ago. As the owner of a pest control company I see just as many insects today as I did when I was a kid in the 70s. Nothing has changed.
