Where are all the insects? 15:54 - Jul 22 with 16340 viewshubble

It's the height of summer. Usually there are loads of insects buzzing around, especially flies. Right now, in the corner of West London, there are none.

A good story. And trying to keep this thread going, rather than the angry politics one's.

I meant to post this the other day but after taking our dogs for their walk around the fields and lanes near where I live (south Somerset/Dorset border), I noticed loads of insects and butterflies in particular out there. My village, Milborne Port, is semi rural and surrounded by fields and farmland so I don't know whether that's a factor.

Friends saw a frog recently and there has definitely been way way less of the kernit variety to 20 or 30 years ago.

It's been very noticeable.

Loads of them about in the Dordogne. Noticeable how many were on the windscreen as well after the long drive down.

When you used to play spot ie kicking ball against the wall, there were always loads.

The population of daddy long legs seemed to be greatly diminished also...

Also, why they called "Daddy Long Legs"

Surely in today's world that's very un PC and inappropriate. And the blighters require a new name. Answers on a postcard perhaps !!!

They've migrated to washing lines, yesterday took my pants off the line and saw one hanging off it so went to put it back on the line and it ran in my pants.
I gave them a good shake out, couldn't see it so I assume it dropped out.(hopefully!)

Not quite the inspiration for the phrase "Ants in your Pants" but near enough Metallica.

They are now calling a mother a Birthing Person over here and Delta Airlines are no longer going to announce "ladies and Gentlemen its time to board " after they figure out what to say to include everybody .
Not sure what they are going to do about manhole covers yet
The Ladybirds/ person are in decline due to cold weather and infistation of Asian ladybirds apparantly
