It hit me a couple of years back, a night time drive through the Australian countryside and your car would be plastered with insects - not anymore. And fireflies, I haven't seen one in years,
- TheSmiddy 6y agoYes 10 or 15 years ago driving from Adelaide to Melbourne would require a halfway pit stop to manually clean the windscreen because the wipers weren't able to cope with all the bug guts. Last year i did it and didn't need to even use the wipers once. Our insect loss is much more likely due to climate change than light pollution though due to our sparse population between the cities.
- distances 6y agoIs there agriculture in those areas? I've been assuming it's mostly insecticides, as my home country hasn't warmed up that much yet.
- Polylactic_acid 6y ago21 years old and I have never seen a firefly. Figured they were an American thing. Did Australia have them?
