Anyway, the insect apocalypse seems to have hit my house this year in southern Canada. For the first time I can remember, the dragonflies didn’t show up. Hardly any mosquitos. So far no wasps are trying to get in my screen door as they normally do in late summer. I haven’t really noticed the crickets and fireflies, but now that I think of it it seems like there haven’t been many. Even ants seem to be in short supply compared to normal. It’s pretty weird.

Locally I’m surrounded by forest that hasn’t been disturbed in any new ways recently. Must be the climate change I guess.
