What he describes is near total die-off. I haven't seen that.

No fly's, mosquitoes, fireflys, butterflies. There are insects but I would say they are at 10 percent or less than what I seen 50 years ago.If there has been a sudden die-off of insects in your area, somebody has observed it. The cause might never be found. We know very little about these kinds of things. Bugs don't buy refrigerators or cars and have no advocates other than a couple of ag extension agents in your area and professors in the local college. I'm willing to bet that somebody has observed what you describe. They see all sorts of things that they can't explain. The working environment in Trump's administration would be hostile to any news of this sort even with thorough study behind it.
Honeybees have an advocate in the ag industry because they are so important to so many crops. A decade or so after neonics were identified as detrimental to bees, farmers and beekeepers who depend on honeybees and honeybee pollination are still fighting with chemical companies to get neonicitoids off the market. Europe has already banned their use but not in the US. Around the beginning of the previous century, honeybees weren't needed because wild bees were plentiful. Their population crashed in the middle part of the century when so-called conventional farming took hold. Now, honeybees are having a hard go of it.
Still, life has ways of bouncing back, I'm willing to bet everything will be back to normal next year for you.
They just say this to protect their jobs. Same with climate science and global warming.I'm right. And it is being noticed

It was just a short item about how there seem to be a lot fewer insects than times past.Any idea how long ago or what search term I can try?

This is so fucking depressing to me. I grew up in a suburb in between San Jose and San Francisco. We were a suburb but there were wild places for a kid to explore. Now it's all paved over with ticky tacky houses everywhere.
I've been saying to my wife. Where the hell are the bugs. You could have a pile of shit in the alley and maybe see 2 flies on it.I was kidding of course.

Russia cannot export any uranium out of the USA.So we openly and officially sold a country that has 10000 nukes more uranium.
