An alarming statistic states that 50% of the biomass of insects on this planet has been lost, wiped out, killed since 1970. LOST! That's not so long ago. Once in the 1980's the magnificent annual monarch butterfly migration came through my yard. They were crashing into trees. A soft sound of hundreds of thousands of butterfly wings was accompanied by the fluttering of the sunlight. Now the monarch butterfly has been added to the ENDANGERED species list!! Only 10% or less of their population survives. This bug may disappear soon if we, humans, don't clean up our act. Other nifty, useful and besides beautiful bugs may disappear too. My guess is that many have already.
