I've lived in numerous parts of the US, hiked and camped, and traveled across Europe. I don't think insects have ever come up as a conversation of topic. I'm not really offended at all because, again, I don't find this whole type of argument to be compelling or valid. You're also entirely off base in your implication that I don't go outside (this last year is obviously exceptional). It's interesting that this seems to come up for you quite a lot, but I don't find it compelling in terms of evidence, which is what I stated earlier. Again, I'm entirely willing to believe (and would even naively assume) that pesticides and human behavior have negatively impacted insect populations, even greatly so. But "open your eyes" and "do you go outside?" are not helping anyone.
