Where have all the Insects gone ?

[dennishasdoneit]

Birds and insects are particularly vulnerable to electromagnetic fields which damage their reproductive capacity and disrupt their navigational acumen.... magnetite,stored in the beaks of birds and in the abdomen of bees,helps them to navigate.

5G will be deadly to insects since they absorb far more radiation wavelengths than earlier ,lower frequencies.

This was demonstrated after the installation of a cell tower in Idaho in May 2021 ,where an entire beehive population at an adjacent farm died within a month.

In short...The cast of progress needs revision if it bequeaths erasure.

Intresting vid from an Angler on YT ,who has also noticed a decline in the number of birds his video collection of birds close to his home has been put together over a few years... he is not a bird expert by any means ...but you can see from his footage how many birds are busy searching for insects / worms ,as well as those who visit his bird table for seeds etc..

Worrying. We must take this into account and develop ways to limit radiation. I have no idea how we would approach this. Any physicists on here?

Im glad wasps have fucked off - they are cunts

I have only seen one wasp, a real aggressive , noisy **** , came in the bedroom window , wrestled with it and the spidey catcher did the job , it was so angry about something. Seen a lot of queen bees so they are still there , i cant do my walking in the garden now but on a sunny day there were butterflies , different colours

One fly tried to get in but I successfully batted it out, the birds seem very hungry stripping
our abundantly clad three trees of berries overnight.
We have plenty of squirrels robbing my bulbs no danger of wiping squirrels out.

Have you seen any Caterpillars this summer Kaz.?
Any Aphids, ladybirds ,Stag Beetles,Wood louse
Centipedes,Daddy long legs /Crane flies.

And , a question for the wider, global audience...

How many House spiders and Moths do you see now

Everyone knows the scene... your sitting in your fav seat ,nice and comfortable....you look up , and the biggest Spider you 've ever seen is looking down on you,from the wall.

I have to be honest. I don't like insects in the house.....but where have they gone?

The black meat fly, Greenbottle, Bluebottle, Redbottle , they used to be common sights around domestic homes and gardens.

Not now.
Why not ?

A quick Google search would indicate that it's due to a range of factors, including habitat destruction, land use changes, deforestation, intensive agriculture, urbanization, pollution, climate change, introduction of invasive species, application of pesticides.

Never Mind Google.

The business.......

What about your own, personal experience?
Have you anything to say , from your own observations?

I'm not sure my own experience could identify why there is a decline in the insect population. I'm no scientist or expert in the field, so I'd prefer to listen to actual experts to ascertain the overall picture on that subject.

If you meant my experience regarding numbers of insects, I'd have to say that I haven't really noticed many changes where I live, except I don't really see many ants these days. I seem to remember columns of them going up and down walls and across floors when I was younger but rarely see them indoors now. Still loads of wasps, bees, butterflies, moths, dragonflies and spiders though and I still see plenty of beetles. The midge population certainly doesn't feel like it's in decline at the moment!

Insect populations in water seem to be thriving, I would assume due to generally cleaner rivers.
