As detestable as flying insects are, they’re also a vital part of the ecosystem, providing food for animals and playing a vital role in agriculture. As for why the insects are disappearing, researchers appeared stumped. Climate change, they said, seems an unlikely culprit since the increase in temperatures should have helped, not harmed, the insect population. But, what if an increase in Extreme UV is the unseen culprit?

Flying insects are disappearing
Flying insects, an annoying but necessary part of life, are disappearing, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One. For the study, researchers evaluated 27 years of insect collection data from German nature preserves and found the biomass of flying insects had fallen by a seasonal average of 76 percent!

Re: Flying insects are disappearing
I keep saying to my friends and family that the sun seems brighter and stronger than it used to. I remember playing outside as a kid for hours and never got a sunburn. Now, I'm out just minutes and it feels like my skin is on fire.DEEPER storm wrote: ↑October 21st, 2017, 8:04 pmBut, what if an increase in Extreme UV is the unseen culprit?
The UV killing off insects is certainly an interesting hypothesis!

Re: Flying insects are disappearing
I killed about a thousand of them today with my car. Good riddance!

True. I read a report like that about a year ago (?), and how the UV rays are burning bushes and trees, too.Sunain wrote: ↑October 21st, 2017, 9:14 pmI keep saying to my friends and family that the sun seems brighter and stronger than it used to.

I think there's more to this problem than just that, though, like too many waves, electromagnetism, poisons, new enemies, perhaps GMO foods, etc.

Perhaps all the aluminum and barium in the air causes the burns as it is reflective Nano material in the chemtrails.

Re: Flying insects are disappearing
I thought it was all the pesticides being sprayed? By the way what useful purpose do mosquito's have?

To spread malaria, I guess.
I don't know what's useful about that, but I think that's it.

Re: Flying insects are disappearing
I can tell you there is no shortage of flying insects at my house. No matter how many I kill there are several replacements there forthwith.
And my cats will chase them a bit, but seldom catch or eat them. Only play with them a bit, at most.
