    Insects. At night there would be plenty of insects under every singe street lamp. The windscreen would be full of yellow goo after driving in summer.

      Yeah I used to go out in the backyard in summer and catch a bunch of fireflies (we’d always let them go after). Now it’s a rarity to even see one

      Seeing hundreds of fireflies in your own backyard, and nowadays maybe 1 or 2 an entire season IF YOU ARE LUCKY.

      And when I point out the declining insect biomass to people, they’re all like ‘Good, less bugs’

      And I’m like ‘You ignorant motherfucker…’
