Every summer I look forward to evenings at my dining room table, which sits right next to a large picture window, and see the diversity of insects that land on the window. My window has been rather insect-free this year...very small numbers of moths, no lacewings, no hordes of tiny flies, no caddisflies. Additionally, I think the number of mosquitoes and black flies is way down...although that is comfortable from a self-centred perspective, it's somewhat unnerving. Insects visiting my flowers, whether they be on the parsnips, weeds, or the diversity of garden plants, seems way down, too. I'll be the first to say though that one summer of bad insect numbers is meaningless...it could have been a weather-related issue (three+ weeks of cloud and rain couldn't have helped). Comments?
