We’ve been hearing scientific assessments that there has been a massive loss of insects worldwide over the past few decades.
My recent personal experience fits right in with this: when I was a child, driving a few miles in the desert or mountains resulted in a windshield covered in the splattered bodies of unfortunate flying insects, but a trip last month all the way to the Grand Canyon only required washing the windshield once. Numbers are clearly down, but diversity is also being affected.
