Don't forget about the mass extinctions

I visited the state I grew up in recently and had to drive a couple hours to visit someone down a highway I used to drive all the time in my teens. There used to be so many bugs that I’d have to stop and use the washers at the gas station at least once… this time there were maybe 2 or 3.

I was like oh. oh no.

I tell people all the time that the bugs are all gone. It is terrifying! Younger generations will never experience those swarms. It is so sad.

Let's hope we aren't also going to be on that list.
