Where have all the insects gone?!? I keep bringing it up to my family and friends that the insect populations have declined dramatically. No one seems to care but me. Everyone tells me they love it. Folks we need insects. This butterfly bush was covered in bees, wasps and all kinds of insects last year. I haven’t seen anything at it this year whatsoever. #Insects #Collapse #ButterflyBush

@Pinchy63@ottawa.place same for me in UK. Last year was noticeably fewer and this year almost none. Most obvious measurement is the lack of windscreen splats.

@Pinchy63@ottawa.place Most people are completely unaware of the sheer number of ways in which we're destroying the livability of our planet.

I've noticed this, too. Far fewer bees on the elderberry bushes when they were in flower will men fewer berries later on. @Pinchy63@ottawa.place
