Been like that for years. I see few birds too. I’ve only spied one butterfly even though I have planted butterfly friendly flowers.

Not kidding. Perhaps I should "Stir them up"
On the other hand, I was reading in Quora that bed-bugs are getting super resistant and some hotels are getting
afraid that travelers are weary of staying in invested commendations.
Also..the bastards are getting way bigger. again..Not kidding.
"Thank you sir..That will be 173.84 for the night, Would you like things to crawl on you or not?"

Bugs (invertebrates) now, larger species next, then humans.

But then, I didn't mow my farm's fields this year. I let them grow wild with no pasturing animals. I mow just around my house which is about an acre or two.

I'm trying to make it comfortable for the swarm of monarch butterflies to come by again this year.

But the birds are much less. Though for the first time in 5 years, I saw a flock of Canadian geese bigger than 10 ducks. There use to be huge flocks when I was a kid.

Some places that have more wild lands have more insects and birds. But eventually we will all lose our diversity of life.

I can't recall ever seeing a mosquito in the 3 years we've lived here.
