    There are fewer everything. I’ve commented on the ecosystem collapse many time, don’t have the energy any longer.

    At least my yard is coming back. Our house is the reason the block has frogs, dragonflies, etc.

        Man! Now that you mention it I haven’t seen monarch butterflies in my area for a few years now. We used to see thousands of them every late summer when they start their migration to Mexico. I feel sad now. :(

          Plant milkweed. They’ll find it.

          There are a couple monarch mimics that will also come to them (which is cool because they mimic each other to make their poison more effective, instead of pretending to be poisonous).

        Those orange colored things are now old and not actual. Basically just a genetic fraud that only exist because most people can’t tell the difference and half aren’t even aware there is one. The real Monarch’s home was destroyed years ago.

      Same here. Used to get whole families of deer, rabbits, hedgehogs, squirrels etc eating our gardens goodies. Nowadays its lucky to catch a single magpie nibbling on an apple. Animals today are so damn picky. /s
