Yeah right- another false narrative of what happened in Texas. Clear example of galactical energies impacting with power grid and also bats which depend on the magnetic fields for survival. [ link to www.khou.com (secure)] ~~~~~~~ Who cares about disgusting BATS!! What about all the stray CATS? Squirrels, rabbits, cougars, bobcats, dogs, horses, cattle, goats, coyotes etc.????? Countless animals were murdered, beyond the sad humans that could not escape 1 degree insanity!! BATS?? I can only think of creepy Bat Soup & all the gross things I learned about China in 2020!! Vomit worthy news about all the disgusting things they eat!! Mosquitoes are going to be even worse this summer. CRAP!!!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79306507 The second quote is why you care about bats. You dont mess with them and your good. No worries - 'Gaia' [or somebody?] already been on the case- Jarvis, too, deliberately led her story not with a scientist, but with a civilian: Sune Boye Riis, a Danish teacher whose connection to insects is simply that he’s freaked out by their absence.
“I wanted people to be able to identify with his experience,” she told me.
“It’s so personal and creepy and startling, and I think that’s a big part of why people have been interested in this story.”
Very few of us have PhDs in entomology, but we can all relate to the hunch that the natural world is deteriorating.
When Jarvis was 12, her family drove an RV to Disneyworld and had to stop every hundred miles to squeegee bugs off the windshield.
Now that cloud of life has vanished, perhaps forever.
“A lot of people have similar memories,” Jarvis told me. “‘It used to be like this, and now it’s not.’”
The response to “Insect Apocalypse” suggests how deeply its audience connected. No trolls lurking in this comment section; instead, it’s a bittersweet, clover-scented stroll through the pastures of nostalgia. Here’s one reader’s online response:
When I was a child in upstate New York, I would mow our hayfield and it would stir up hundreds of insects per foot.
Bluebirds and swallows followed my tractor.
Today, that same field has no insects at all.
