My deer do. I love my deer so the flies can vamoose.
It got too hot on a tropical island for tropical insects?
How have the human beings in Puerto Rico survived it?
Amen!
I have actually seen an insect population collapse. While working in the woods of north central Idaho, there were great numbers of hornets and yellow jackets that made life miserable for us. After Mt. St. Helens blew and coated the area with fine ash, there was’t a bug to be found in the woods. The ash worked into their exoskeleton and tore them up. It was nice to be rid of the bugs for a few years, but it was quite unpleasant for us as well, until the ash settled to the ground.
It has nothing to do with climate. Pull heads out of backsides, remove the emotional rejection of climate BS and recognize that a decades-long trend has been identified without clear cause. The bees are the most disturbing symptom, effects thereof which will become evident within about a decade if current trends continue. I know beekeepers and in consideration of the information available to me, the disaster on the horizon is coming and it certainly has nothing to do with climate.

I have noticed in my lifetime a definitive reduction in bird populations correlating to research observations. Birds eat insects. Think about what could be killing insects and bees...or don’t. But it has nothing to do with “climate”...
Save the pubic lice! The millennial grooming habit of shaving all hair way has drastically cut down the incidences and number of pubic lice.
Kamala Harris is a rumored safe space.
I know that gnats and skeeters haven’t become rare on the MS Gulf Coast...
Well perhaps around the ‘toe’ vicinity.
