It could signal a potential “#bugpocalypse” that scientists are fiercely debating — a shift that may spell trouble for both #nature & #society.

#Summer is here. Where are the #fireflies? In so many spots where scientists look, #insects of all sorts are #vanishing, w potentially disastrous results. Populations are plunging in Germany, the Netherlands, in Puerto Rico and American West, leading to fears of a potential-though-still hotly debated #bugpocalypse which could unravel #foodwebs for #birds & other #insecteating #animals and cause calamity for #farmers who need #pollinators to grow crops. #NoMoreButterflies https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/interactive/2023/firefly-summer-extinction/?itid=hp-more-top-stories_p003_f003
