The Insect Apocalypse Is Here

Exactly what I’ve been wondering. Not even BB seems interested.

The OP article is in the NYTimes magazine, and was (as I mentioned) a follow-on from an Op-Ed piece earlier this year. One of the commenters on their website observed that the article had only received a couple hundred comments, telling a key part of the story about why there hasn’t been greater coverage. Lack of understanding of the problem + lack of comprehension of the danger = lack of interest.

I’ve seen that German field data mentioned a few places, but maybe that’s only because I went looking for more info. The LZS paper I linked was the earliest similar thing I could find, aside from primary “asking the questions” research.
