From the favourite #blog of mine:
Where Do Cicadas Go When They Die?
The hottest summer in a string of hottest summers. Some 1,000 birds dying in window collisions on a single night in Chicago alone. A dramatic, if little understood, decrease in insect populations. And all of this is due to my species, to humans, because we demand more and more comfort, more ways to escape death.

Meanwhile.... Something to look forward to in the U.S. Southeast this spring!
And Oklahoma too. (The best of a few articles I saw about this coming visitation.)
