Last couple years I noticed while driving around at night that there’s no insects. I used to have to clean my headlights and hood every gas fill up, now I never have to.
Also noticed zero ticks on my farm or mosquitos last year. Every year before that I would always get ticks and you couldn’t be outside at sunset because of millions of mosquitos.


Is anyone else concerned about the constant spraying of chemicals blanketing our sky and blocking the sun and the long term ramifications. I believe this is what is killing our insect population. Doesn’t take much aluminum accumulation in soil to create total crop failures either.

The sky is never a deep rich blue like when I was growing up, it is always white washed at this point.

I have a bug zapper INSIDE my back door. It wont last 15 minutes outside before shorting out from all the bugs. I wore safety glasses last year while riding around in my ranger due to all the grasshoppers. No shortage down here

Plenty of ticks, skeeters, gnats and deer flies here. Looks like you live on a flyway.

I see those trails once in awhile. Right now nothing but blue sky outside.
I don't much like all the farm chemicals. Since Iowa is pretty much one big cornfield most of the state gets covered with the stuff every year. But it sure ain't killing the dang ticks!

Lots of bugs here. Vapor from jet engines don't bother them.

Wasn’t really asking if you believed if they were real or not just assumed by now everyone knew what was up. As of today 31 states passed bills to ban them, problem with that is the altitude and that area the feds regulate it. JFK jr this week mentioned on one of his replies in X that he’s going to try and stop it which is what’s needed. I mean the govt just release a report about with the faa, noaa and nasa being the lead funders and researchers

If you don’t think they’re real you must not spend great lengths of time outside or be an observant person.

I remember when the power lines were heavy with swallows, thousands of birds and thousands more short distances later. I can now travel 100 miles of rural road and count swallows at 55mph as there's so few. Insects and birds are both taking a beating
