Oct 2019

Tonight a fly got in the house and I had a flashback to our first year or two after moving in -- almost 20 years ago. We had a stock of flystrips that we would hang here and there in the house. Haven't needed them in years.

Outside, the number and variety of insects is plummeting year by year. They used to flock around the outside lights in clouds, but not any more. Makes me wonder how badly the local bat populations have been affected. We used to see them flying at dusk, but haven't caught sight of one in quite some time now.
