    Been screaming about this for a couple of years now. I remember dad teaching me to always clean the windshield when we stopped for gas.

    I’ve seen the decline in my swampland in Florida in just the past 4 years.

      Also a Florida native and I think the county mosquito fogging is part of the problem, there is no way that poison isn’t harming other invertebrates. I know they do it to control disease and keep malaria from becoming endemic, it’s not literally for no reason but is the cure worse than the disease? We need insects.
