Scientists around the world are reporting a decline in flying insects.
No, not mosquitoes, unfortunately.
We’re talking about a decline of the good-guy bugs, the ones we like and need – like native bees, butterflies, fireflies, moths, ladybugs and mayflies.
This is a problem – and not just one of fancy or beauty: These guys help feed us. Literally.
They pollinate plants, make up a key link in the overall food chain and help decompose life.
