Over the last while there has been some discussion about unusual natural =
history observations apparently associated with the unusual =
spring/summer weather that we experienced this year. I have one such =
observation that I'd like to share; and invite comments=20
Every fall in late October - early November I transfer my 5-6 cords of =
wood from the summer seasoning location to my basement. Traditionally, I =
spend a lot of time wacking logs together to knock off earwigs and pill =
bugs intent on overwintering in the woodpile before loading them in the =
wagon for transport. This year, there was the usual contingent of pill =
bugs but no sign of any earwigs..... and I don't mean there were just a =
few...but not a single one!!! The logs were stacked in exactly the same =
place and in exactly the same fashion. Usually, in spite of all the =
wacking I end up with a writhing mass of the loathsome critters in my =
wagon. But not this year...... none, not one, nada, zip, zero!!!! don't =
know whether this is a local phenomenon or something of broader =
geographical import. Should I be contacting the species at risk folk =
about adding another candidate to their list??? Has anyone else noted a =
decided absence of these loveable creatures?
