My wife pointed something out to me tonight whilst we were in the garden (night time here in the UK, but very hot).
Where are all the bugs?
The living room light was left on and all the windows were open, and when we went back in there was a single moth flying round a bulb, that was it. Back in the eighties we would have been fighting off a swarm of thunderbugs, moths, flies and daddy-longlegs, but toight...zip...nada.
Anyone else notice anything?
Probably the heat wave is affecting them. Here in NY it is an uncommonly light year for insects. Cycles are typical for them, but this seems unusual. If I go out at dusk, I get eaten. But if I go out later, 10pm or later, there's hardly a mosquito around.
