Seems all the mosquitoes have migrated to my legs.r
It’s a brave and noble soul who can come forward and admit their culpability in so negatively affecting an entire living species in the natural order.
You’re doing your part in saving the Earth.
“Experts” + “could” = “irrational fear, insanity, and monetary grants”
Pathetic.
There have been about the same around here, there are more butterflies and dragon flies this year.
I have not been observing bugs, but this year, has had the most birds chirping. Which I like.
Re: Lightening Bugs, also known as Fireflies. (Is that a North/South thang?)
One of my favorite songs/videos of all time. ‘Fireflies’ by Owl City:

“The swallows are still here, two weeks later than most years, so there must be plenty of flying bugs. That’s all they eat.”
I can’t mow the house yard (lawn) without being swarmed by Swallows looking for the bugs I kick up!
If I were a Disney Princess, I could get those Swallows to dress me each day and do all of my household chores! ;)
We need more taxes and communism.
My garden needs more bees and other pollinators. This year has not been a very productive one for my vegetable garden. I’ve gardened for many years, so I can compare.
All the bugs are in MA, NH and ME. You could resupply the entire globe with all the bugs there.
And the solution to every problem is higher taxes, more government spending and more regulations.
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
‘Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You’d think me rude but I would just stand and stare
I’d like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
‘Cause everything is never as it seems
‘Cause I’d get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread (thread, thread)
I’d like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
‘Cause everything is never as it seems
(when I fall asleep)
Leave my door open just a crack
Please take me away from here
‘Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Please take me away from here
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
Please take me away from here
When I’m far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I’m weird ‘cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said, “Farewell” (they said farewell)
But I’ll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
‘Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar (jar, jar, jar)
I’d like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
‘Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)
I’d like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly
It’s hard to say that I’d rather stay awake when I’m asleep
‘Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

Fireflies lyrics © Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd., Universal Music Publishing Group
There seemed to be fewer fireflies than usual this summer and I haven’t managed to see any for the last 3 weeks...usually there are still some in the second half of August and sometimes into early September.
Help yourself to my mosquito supply.
And help yourself to some rabbits too.
The rabbits are not afraid of people in my part of Florida.
And the gnats are hanging around.
Usually they are limited to swarms for a few days several times a year.
I’ve got plenty of bugs, insects, worms, bees and butterflies in my veggie garden. The birds help me control them.
Nailed it.
