[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1755745, member: 42463"] Just to be clear, I'm not saying the amphibians are gone because of chemicals. Just an example of how things have changed over time if we are aware enough to notice. At least some portion of these animals has declined due to human activities. I do know there are far less insects gathering under the porch light in the evening... and we could once catch Cecropia and Luna moths and all kinds of swallowtail butterflies in a single day. Now they are so rare I don't see them every year. I saw a Monarch a couple of weeks ago, the first I've seen in decades. We've been spreading milkweed seed in all the ditches around here so they can eat, and maybe that's why. We see all kinds of information about bees... but rarely anything about the rest of the insect kingdom disappearing. And birds are starting to decline. We had a place we walked and there was a Meadowlark every tenth of a mile or so... and I've only seen one in the last three years. Plenty of starlings though. [/QUOTE]
