I’ve noticed there are fewer butterflies just in the past few years.
Also bees. There aren’t as many bees.
Also far fewer fireflies.
seriously!!!
Used to be even 10-15 years ago there would be patches of sidewalk next to gardens that sometimes you couldn’t walk on once in a while because they were just covered in butterflies sunning themselves between trips to the flowers.
Like there were times I would walk past some spots and it’d be like a movie with this wave of small butterflies that would fly up, disturbed by my passing.
Used to see lots of fireflies, too.
Now it’s a rare treat to see multiple butterflies at once, and lightning bugs are much fewer and far between.
It’s sad.
