Insects on the windscreen

Is it me, or are insects making a comeback? I’ve been collecting the little buggers on the windscreen in the sort of quantities that I haven’t seen for years.

Anyone else noticed an increase

 

Well got to be a good sign ...as there was talk of the lack of them on your windscreen due to insecticides .

 

Probably all a super-race of insecticide tolerant greenfly the way things go.

 

What if they learn how to use guns ?

 

With all this standing water and wet ground, prepare yourself for mosquitoes…

 

Yup the windscreen on the daily is smattered with them this year
Maybe less traffic on the roads during the lockdowns helped them build population numbers back up

 

Snakes on a plane ! Have they gone yet?

 

What if they learn how to use social media ?

 

Doesn't bear thinking about,..

 

The real peril of course is Border Collies learning to use firearms. Only the lack of an opposable thumb is keeping humanity safe...

 

It is really good news that bugs are making a come back. I have noticed this when out on my bike. For years I would get home and not have to clean my cycling glasses. Now I have to take a cloth out with me. Problem is that bees have been decimated over the last 10 years. hopefully we will begin to see an increase in bees too.

 

Insects probably the oldest living things on earth. 480 million years since they evolved.
They will still be here after we blow ourselves to bits

 

Still in short trousers compared to Mushrooms and fungus…

 

"...and puppies and kittens. These are few of my favourite things"

 

Shaka Demus and Pliers also works…

 

Aren't they rap artists? Respect!

 

Baby wipes gets squat insects off of windscreens, bike fairings well.

 

This thread title very much works with the song 'Midnight at the Oasis'.

 

“sing your Mayfly to bed”

Not sure about the verse though…

 

Or "Message in a Bottle"
