Ever noticed...where all the insects have gone?
25 years ago, an after-dark drive in the summer would result in the front end of your car being covered in bugs. Not so much these days....
Pesticides have depleted all kinds of insect populations.
Some people may not mind (including myself at times — after all, who enjoys mosquitoes or scrubbing bug guts off your bumper?).
But, insects are a vital part of our ecosystems.
...another thing we seem to be too willing to the roll the convenience-dice on.
