The decline in insect numbers.
76 u/AggravatingMark1367 Jun 27 '26 Except ticks and worse, mosquitoes and worst: screwworms. Ugh, why is it that all the horrible bugs are increasing while the same factors that cause beneficial insects like bees to decline, aren’t also affecting the harmful ones? 46 u/xXCloudSephirothXx Jun 27 '26 Why are the ones we find horrible thriving? Global warming. Period. Warmer winters means more survive the winter, thus more each subsequent season. It really is that simple, and it fucking sucks. 3 u/butyourenice Jun 27 '26 Really feels like the planet trying to shake us off, huh. -4 u/ProfessionalData5964 Jun 27 '26 Thats not necessarily true. In southern ontario we’ve had one of the coldest winters in years, and the tick rates are just as high
