When I bring this up IRL, with examples of insect population changes, people's jaws are on the floor. I don't have to quote science papers, just, "Remember what it was like?"

I've seen the biodiversity crash on my front porch in just 5 years. I got frogs back in the hood, hoping there's dragonfly larva maturing.
