Last year when I left my kitchen window open at around this time, in a couple of hours I had dozens of flies everywhere. This year - silence. Way less birds as well. When I visit my parents that retired to a village valley without any industry, insects of all types are everywhere.
- notatoad 9y agoSame here. Except this year we still have snow on the ground and last year it had all melted a month ago, so that's probably why there's no insects. Anecdotes aren't helping anything.
- goatlover 9y agoThe insect splatter or lack thereof has been noticed by a lot of people in different countries though.

- notatoad 9y agoStill though, "being noticed" is not evidence of anything. Studies count, people noticing things don't.
- bitL 9y agoThere is a significant latency between an observation and scientific study, often in years.
- aeorgnoieang 9y agoOf course "being noticed" is evidence, if only a small amount.
