At first Adam Smith couldn’t believe his calculations. Then it sank in.

    Anybody in their 30s or so would remember there used to be a hell of a lot more bugs than there are now and they’re just gone now.

    It’s so crazy. You see butterfly bushes and flowers and stuff and there’s no bees or butterflies or anything on them anymore. It’s crazy. I’m assuming that’s a big part of bird population declines.

      I’m seeing bees, and butterflies coming back, lightning bugs. But not enough. Not nearly. I know it’s only cause my block has native plants on purpose to attract them.

      Otherwise I barely see anything else. Except lots of dragonflies and damn mosquitoes.
