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?
Yes, this was actually brought up on Brett Weinstein’s Dark Horse podcast about 6 months ago. A lot of people are noticing it.
I was in Wisconsin briefly a few summers ago, and noticed a strange lack of mosquitoes, and bugs in general. Very different from when I lived there as a kid in the 70s and 80s.
