Reports from around the word express concern about an "insect Armageddon", including an excellent and scary story in the N.Y. Times:
"When entomologists began noticing and investigating insect declines, they lamented the absence of solid information from the past in which to ground their experiences of the present. “We see a hundred of something, and we think we’re fine,” Wagner says, “but what if there were 100,000 two generations ago?”
And it is true...have you noticed a reduction in "lightening bugs"? I have. And butterflies too.
On the other hand, we've seen an influx of "stink bugs" this year. Have their predators been reduced?
