Lads will know 😀. Seriously though, an hour on the tow path in afternoon sunshine is great……but a distinct lack of flies/bugs/butterflys about?!? I'd read about it but you can notice the difference, bloody obvious……….kinda scary too. We need them😧.

  1. They’re behind you.

    They’re following the smell

  2. Saw butterflys in the garden most days this year, saw 2 cabbage whites yesterday. See bees everyday and multiple species, I’ve hole cutters that have made a tree stump I use as a kinda feature into their hive. There’s 1000s of things I can’t identify flying about I just group things I’m not interested in that fly into the gnat category.  I’ve noticed real shiny metallic beatles it’s first year I’ve noticed them. A decline in insects is something I’ve seen loads last few weeks but def not what I have personally observed. 

  3. It’s very obvious. Used to see caterpillars and ladybirds all the time as a child, now they’re a very rare occurrence. And I spend a lot of time outdoors. Genuinely believe most are clueless as to what’s coming down the line climate wise.
