I sometimes think about how nature was somehow different when I was a kid. Some how lusher with more birds and bugs. I remember catching fireflys in jars. They aren’t around anymore.

I haven’t seen fireflies in over 15 years I think

I saw fireflies just yesterday (Connecticut suburb)

However, I’ve definitely noticed a decrease in the number of butterflies, especially Monarchs and Swallowtails. They used to be common back in the 2000s, now I barely see any.

I’ve seen only one butterfly this entire year (orange with brown, I forgot the name). The only other one I see is the common white one.

I also see fewer honeybees and bumble bees. Carpenter bees are doing GREAT though lol

It’s weird to hear stuff like this because I was in Upstate New York recently and the number of fireflies and butterflies have seem to have increased. Maybe the bugs are migrating.
