I’ve noticed there are fewer butterflies just in the past few years.
Also bees. There aren’t as many bees.
Also far fewer fireflies.
seriously!!!
Used to be even 10-15 years ago there would be patches of sidewalk next to gardens that sometimes you couldn’t walk on once in a while because they were just covered in butterflies sunning themselves between trips to the flowers.
Like there were times I would walk past some spots and it’d be like a movie with this wave of small butterflies that would fly up, disturbed by my passing.
Used to see lots of fireflies, too.
Now it’s a rare treat to see multiple butterflies at once, and lightning bugs are much fewer and far between.
It’s sad.
Oh, huh, it’s past me…
Oh…
She’s only 18 years old! She doesn’t know the ways of the plants. She doesn’t know that her meadow will look like a lightning bug rave and there will be clouds of butterflies and 4 species of bumble bees.
She doesn’t even know yet that its name is the Meadow…
