All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

You have crickets this time of year where you are? We don't see them in my area until July or August (they come after the fireflies, which we'll get in a couple of weeks).
Still, I agree with you. Fewer insects all around.
I'm just west of Pittsburgh, PA. I sure do hope that's all it is. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed it until I did not hear it last night. Honestly, I remember having crickets before school would let out for the summer. We'd usually do a camp out before school ended and everyone went on vacation.
Been seeing a lot of birds. Lot of spiders. Tons of ants. and a metric ton of chipmonks. (They ate my catnip, by the way). Insects in general are down, but not gone. Scorpion flies just came out. I did see a male and a female within the last week just chilling out on some American Jumpseed.
Hopefully, they are still on the way
