Will someone please explain what is happening to Ventura County's insect life?
My backyard and garden should be literally teeming with life right now, and I have yet to see a butterfly light! Every year around this time we are swarmed with beetles, bugs, bees and butterflies, yet I've spotted nary a one in my little eden!
Where are they? Does anyone know? Is there spraying going on that we, the public, are unaware of? I miss the morning cloaks and painted ladies! I have seen two larvae-seeking beetles in the last month and I used to see at least two an hour! Can anyone tell me what's happening here?
