know where you live ( I am in KCMO area) but I have seen some butterflies, but not as many as usual. We planted fewer flowers though and think that is why. Have seen hummingbirds quite a bit, but unlike the last few years, I have seen fewer honeybees. Again I believe because we planted a lot fewer flowers.

which butterflies (and hummingbirds) love, but no customers.

Lots of starlings and woodpeckers (SE PA).

Had a few Monarchs on my Milkweed in southern WI. I hope some eggs make it to adulthood.
There are a lot less then there used to be. Less Junebugs or i don't see them.

I always have Mourning Cloaks--so much that their larvae eat up all my parsley plants--but not one this year. I hope climate change will at least persuade some of them to understand that SE PA is south enough to migrate to.

Very few lightning bugs, too. Big changes.

It is disconcerting.

I have never seen so many rabbits. They are everywhere.

I have bunnies, everywhere. The population in my neck of the woods in Delaware has had a population explosion. I managed to get rid of my family of ground hogs (put up a new shed last fall on a concrete slab), so they moved on to sweeter pastures.

But the bunnies? They're having a great time teasing my dogs.

I have not seen butterflies this season and very few lightening bugs. One of the few benefits of living in Tennessee was the butterfly, hummingbird and lightening bug displays. My backyard magnolia looked magical throughout the month of July, as if it had been draped in Christmas (lightening bug) lights.

The world of pesticides and climate change seems to be catching up.

Fewer bees this year, too.

one of our sheds. DH is letting the clover grow in the lawn there and is not using that shed for a while.

this year, when I used to see thousands back in the 80's. I did see one caterpillar on a milkweed plant also, but this is getting bad. This is East Central Minnesota on one of the migratory flyways for Monarchs.

I am seventy and tell my kids about when growing up in Illinois 30 miles south of Chicago, how many monarchs we saw as a kid. Dozens a day sometimes. And that when a flock of birds took off from a field, they filled the sky. Hundreds if not a thousand birds in a flock. And at night there were hundreds of lightning bugs everywhere. Not to mention that when we slept out in the summer, we could see the Milky Way most nights. They think I am kidding them.

Windshield all the time due to bugs, but now it's maybe once or twice a month tops. We're absolutely destroying this planet

We have at least 20 more eggs and 'pillars to go.

We've got milkweed growing all over our yard and our daughter started helping them survive the ants and robins several years ago. Two years ago we released over 200 Monarchs before the end of September. Last year we were lazy about it and only released about 100. This year we're finding tons of eggs and will probably have a high level of success!

*We just returned from a short vacay about 120 miles North of us and there were Monarchs all over the place! People were growing tons of milkweed and it was also growing wild everywhere, the county does not cut it down. That always helps.

Got a lot of cicadas making noise, but that's about it.

Getting a lot of black birds -- maybe ravens or crows -- but fewer cardinals, orioles and blue jays every year.

It's not just our imagination.

Grackles, starlings, and woodpeckers; not many titmice or chickadees, either.

We've really fucked up our planet. And by "we," I mean "they."

We've had a good "crop" of monarch butterflies this year, along with songbirds (hummingbirds, bluebirds, wrens, goldfinches, bluejays, cardinals, etc).

And in the past few weeks, I've never seen so many fireflies; the yard is sparkling at dusk.

The Canadian wildfires have sucked, but haven't seemed to have severely affected the wildlife yet (I'm in Minnesota).

If you haven't done so, transition even a little bit of your yard to a prairie restoration, even a 10x10 square. Kill the lawn now, seed with a native species mix in the fall, and next spring the seeds will germinate. Avoid anything that says "wildflower mix" because most contain non-native flower species.

Hardly any bees compared to previous years. Very rarely is a butterfly seen. Hoping it will pick up if the monsoon rains ever fall.

Birds, rabbits and gophers. Lots of wasps and daubers here in N. DALLAS burbs

and hummingbirds here this year. Our garden has been unmaintained for a couple of years so that helps, I think.

many bees around either. Usually in my garden you can hear them there are so many on the flowers I plant amongst the vegetables, but I've only seen a few bumblebees and no honeybees. We had a couple of hummers early in the summer, but I ended up taking down the feeder because something was managing to get to it during the night and emptying it. No idea what. We have all kinds of wild creatures around, so it could be anything.

We still have butterflies, bees and hummingbirds but every one of them has decreased substantiallly since I was a child.

The things that have left this area for good - lightening bugs. I really miss their splendor at night.

And I had planted lots of parsley for the swallowtails but never saw even one..and very few others.
Our 4 hummingbird feeders stay busy and we’ve had more Scott’s Orioles since I made the holes a little bigger on the hummingbirds feeders with an ice pick.

We had a pair of Baltimore orioles earlier--which we've never had--but they were here only a couple of days.

It seems that everything that flies is out of whack this year.

... a single Monarch butterfly, even with the milkweed we have always maintained.
It's a shame that we keep poking holes in the intricate web of life, and especially that so many people are too dense and self-absorbed to recognize the interconnectedness, and the interdependency, of all living things, including us. Although I'm not sure where ticks or yellowjackets fit into it all... I really don't like those little buggers.
We're trashing the only planet we have, or ever will have, all so a few can make obscene bank at the expense of everyone else, including their own spawn. But their common refrain is, "What has posterity ever done for me?"
I am not a fan.
