All of the bugs are mostly gone, fireflies have completely disappeared. I barely even see flies anymore even though just three years ago one would randomly get stuck in my room at least once a month.
I wish I could have seen fireflies, that and snowfall. I guess the closest I got to the idealized image of a field full of fireflies at night was going through a field full of Lovebugs. These things will just become stories to tell future generations because they will never get to see it for themselves.
One of the grimmest comments I've ever read, I'm sorry comrade
I have vivid memories of seeing fireflies off the back deck floating over wheat fields all summer long. It was magical, and the fact it's been stolen from younger generations is inexcusable
Thank you. I appreciate your sympathy.
Honestly, seeing that solitary Lovebug today made me immediately think of that popular animated video on the last Kauai O'o calling out in vain. I was wondering if we have reached that moment yet but, with a species of insect in this case.
