I don't know what the situation in America is, but on the old continent, most insects are dying.

Perhaps it’s anecdotal, but they’re dying here too. I almost never see fire flies at night, and I drove a third of the way across the country and back on vacation a few months ago and I only had to clean my windshield once, at the end, and “need” is strong wording.
