Meanwhile,
I will do the best I can to answer. I will spare you
with too many details, but it will not be a short
email and it probably will give you enough material
for several radio shows to talk about when you tackle
this topic. I will give you a general overlook about
the known and possible reasons for insect decline and
I will also include a few links. (I will paste the
ones which have good information without paying
attention to which source posted that article in the
first place as I tend to view a topic via different
sources once they are published. As there are plenty
good articles available on each major topic I will
only paste one for each major topic.).
Yes, not only flying Insects, but general insect
groups, arachnids, molluscs, annelids, myriapods and
crusteaceans (not to mention the various essential
microorganisms who live in the earth, or on plants)
have and are declining in large numbers in many
countries all over the world. (At the end of the
e-mail I have given some examples for each critter-
category for you to understand the differences and to
keep it simple. Also, not every species has been
studied in decline because that is a impossible task
due the sheer numbers of species in the insect,
spider,mollusc,myriad, annelid and custeacean
world.The pollinators are species which is known to
the general public to be beneficial and essential
hence their decline was one of the first once noticed
and questioned.)
Wildlife experts have been warning about the alarming
decline in insects for decades but have been ignored
or not been given enough attention. Reasons for that
seem to be because the MSM and alternative media have
given no attention, certain corporations who have done
studies about the impacts of their products (such as
Monsanto and their DDT and the following Neonicotinoid
range for example) kept quiet or quieted the ones
among their employees who objected because the money
was too convincing, and of course, no interest from
the average public person because many people don't
like insects, or any of the others or have no interest
or/and education about their importance to life on
earth or just because the mentality of many people is:
"there are so many insects in numbers and surely they
will recover so why should there be a problem?"
But then also, the importance of insects have not been
understood well until more and more discoveries have
been made over the last decades.
Like you, we have hardly any insects on the
windscreens in the UK. Up until 2008 I used to be
covered in insects when riding my motorcycle for just
a 5 mile trip. Now there is often nothing even on over
100 mile trips. Entomologists call it 'The Windshield
phenomenon.'
When I was a young girl I have spend my time waiting
for the school bus pouring coca cola over my arms and
hands and walking up to the next nearby rubbish bin to
draw the attention of wasps to me with the goal to
observe what the wasps will do when they where
fighting for the sweet droplets on my arms and hands,
leaving tickling sensations on my skin these days I am
lucky to find more than a 3.
(I like to add that I spend 3-4 full hours every day
outdoors no matter in what weather and observe birds
and insects and dig around in the soil or lift up
rotting clear wood or leaves etc...Sometimes 8 hours
or more during the summer months at the peak of insect
activities. I also observe cobwebs in their season.
One example: In 2016 I counted 200 occupied orb webs
in a particular area and none had prey in them for two
weeks (it is not difficult to observe the orb weavers
we have because they will feed several hours on prey,
sometimes a day and often leave the carcass in the web
to attract other insects so by checking them twice a
day the observations are accurate.)
In
comparison, you could find various flying species,
crickets and grass hoppers in most of them nearly
every day in the years before. This year there where
less webs, smaller spiders and mainly midgets and
mosquitoes in the webs. Occasionally a larger prey. I
don't use any chemicals in home or garden which is
fenced in and counted over 500 particular caterpillars
in 2014 in a corner with healer plants (some call them
weed) they feed on. Away from that they declined in
size each year since 2014 and in addition came out in
December in 2015 and 2016 instead during spring time.
I counted 5 in 2017....
2017 was also the year that the ants I used to have in
plenty in the back garden have disappeared. And that I
had hardly any spiders inside the home (we keep them
as they are good housekeepers.)
The
insect eating wild birds which I have befriended and
have been observing and following for over a year have
less food and did not migrated as they should have
done. They have lost a lot of weight and eat nearly 3
times more of the live food I breed for them than they
used too last year at the same time. More have come to
me and were begging for food in different areas of
that park I walk through over the last 2 month. Some
of them were feather and bones which is not right. (I
can't go everywhere and I can't feed them all,but I do
what I can.
We
have seen big changes in nature over the years. In the
past there where more of every animal.We had four
seasons and the plants flowered when they suppose to
flower (these days they flower multiple times, even in
the winter when there is a day or two were no
chemtrails block the sun. I have peppermint in the
garden which I had for many years. It has not grown
nor flowered since 2015. It just stopped growing.The
conifers and the chestnut trees are dying as do many
more sensitive plants.)
Sure your listeners in particular the farmers and
gardeners will have noticed that too. We also
had different species. Trading since the eighteen
hundred has brought in many non native species of
which some were beneficial for the ecosystems and
others benign. Others replaced native species. Then
there have been changes in weather and temperature
which allowed other species to come and/or be able to
live in the UK and other countries. (Like the UK is
getting more and more species which used to live in
warmer countries.
Birds
have been studied closely for many years as they have
been the best indicator for changes in the environment
and they have started to change migration courses
which they had done for thousands of years. Of which
some species won't (and didn't) survive because the
need to live in a warmer or colder environment and
require food which is not necessarily there because a
particular food source they need could not migrate or
could not find particular plants they need in order to
survive, so the chain of a ecosystem is destroyed. (I
like to say that I am aware of the climate change hoax
our governments want us to believe. But there are long
term changes in temperature which have and is still
causing animal migrations in many parts of the
planet.If they have to do with the active heat sources
of volcanoes cause under Antarctica, the massive
deforestation, the presence of a large gravitational
body or bodies in our solar system such as the Nibiru
system or a result of geoengineering, the stop of the
Gulf stream,unknown reason or a mix of all is not
known. It would make sense to tend to believe that it
is a bit of everything which causes the mass
migrations of animals.
Having
this out of the way, which certainly is adding towards
insect decline, we will focus on the more obvious
reasons:
There are ongoing studies in regards to insect decline
and as usual in the science world many debates about
the reasons without looking at 'all' possible factors.
Many scientists of nature agree that the recordings of
insect decline have started far too late as they
should have started as soon as there was environmental
change noticed (like for example when agriculture
intensified,the weather became more severe, new
technology was introduced, the use of new herbicides
and pesticides -these kind of things.). In addition
the world of nature science requires often long term
studies which can range from 5-20 years plus which
does not necessarily support the survival chances of a
species (I don't know if that is the same for other
science categories.)
In no particular order:
●Habitat loss
There are various reasons for insect decline. Habitat
loss due to agriculture, the massive deforestation (we
have cut down 80% of the natural forests since we
created the axe and have cleared a bit over 50% of the
worlds forests for farming ground (growing vertical
gardens would be a efficient solution and eating less
meat as many people eat meat daily. Or bred Insects as
80% replacement for animal protein) for the wood
(unnecessary as bamboo, hemp and fast growing tree
species can replace everything wood is used for),
entertainment places (a battle conservationists always
have is to prevent the entertainment industry from
taking nature reserves), and for living space (instead
of keeping gardens natural and 'living' natural laws,
people like to keep non native plants and 'dead'
beautiful green lawns).
●Cars and anything else which moves killed billions of
insects over time (insect of which each would have
produced several hundred or several thousand offspring
during their lifetime.).
As experts blame mostly habitat loss due agriculture
and the use of insecticides and herbicides, they
forget to look into other possibilities such as
extreme temperature and weather changes,
geoengineering and Microwaves.
●The weather can have a major impact on most
insects.Too much rain will flood out insects,spiders
and mollusc's.Too much wind for long periods of times
will prevent flying insects from flying and looking
for food so they will starve (correct me if I get it
wrong but with the 4th consecutive year that earth is
slowing down in rotation the winds have increased in
strength, which doesn't help the insects. ) and, of
course. cold spells and dry spells.
Geo-engineering has a massive impact from what I saw
so far...We have usually airplanes chemtrailing the
sun all day long and get cold and strong winds mixed
with rain, autumn to spring.The days of clear and
sunny skies can be counted with ease. These cold windy
days have often breaks of several hours or a day where
the sun comes out. The sun is so strong that it wakes
up hibernating insects or encourages the hatching of
insects with short life and breeding spans. They then
come out looking for food and starve to death or
freeze to death because a few hours later the
temperature drops too far down in the scale. (The
following below are side information from my own
observation and that of people I know and who are
reliable in their statements- most of them above the
age of 60 and gardeners or farmers and who mention
these things to me because they know me but also
because they notice the unusual changes.
We had butterflies, wasps,bees, bumble bees and
hoverflies in November, December and January since
2014 coming out and searching desperately for food
which they did not find.Then we have trees,bushes and
flowers flowering with no pollinators. Some plant
species should only flower once a year but flower
several times a year. In 2017 I could not find a
single pollinator or lesser pollinator insect amongst
a group of cherry trees and I'd spend 30 minutes
searching for flying insects every day I walked
through until the flower pedals fell.). In the past
you could see movement of life around flowers
everywhere. These days you have to search for it.
Slugs,snails and earth worms come out when they
shouldn't and die because it's dry- something is
irritating their bodies to think that it is wet while
it isn't. Local friends of mine who are ecologists for
wetlands has noticed this unusual behavior too.)
In addition to the unstable weather and the
accompanying temperature fluctuations (which seems to
be caused by geoengineering) extreme high amounts of
Aluminum have been found in air,water,soil and plant
samples (and of course just like plants and us getting
it into our bodies so do the insects and everyone
else. Like research found high Levels of
Aluminum in Bumblebee Pupae. Bees rely heavily on
cognitive function and aluminum is a known neurotoxin
which is linked to Alzheimer’s disease in humans for
example. The significant contamination of bumblebee
pupae with aluminum indicates that cognitive
dysfunction is playing a role in their population
decline. Here is the full research article:
http://globalskywatch.com/assets/news/bee-decline/Bumblebee-Pupae-Contain-High-Levels-of-Aluminum.pdf
This link here contains pretty much the same as the
above pdf but is an easier read and based on the above
if you prefer this one:
https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-01-25-study-links-aluminum-from-geoengineering--to-decline-in-bee-population.html
As a side note:
I like to add that geoengineering is still a tin foil
topic in the conservation and nature science world
which attracts legions of shills and trolls because
the majority still believes in man made global warming
or man made climate change or is too scared to speak
out for whatever reasons. (Many conservation groups
and organizations or Nature reserves receive
government funding or being sponsored by corporations
who support the idea of man made global warming or man
made climate change. So in order to get funding or
sponsoring, they don't question , stay quiet or
ridicule the ones who say otherwise. The same is true
btw in regards to Microwave damage and damage via GMOs
and Neonicotinoids.).
●While in the past we had only a few technical devices
and transmitters we have now covered most of the
planet in microwave frequencies coming from
satellites, microwave transmitters and all sorts of
technical devices (if these interfere with technical
devices and affect the human body and the unborn human
embryo than they surely interfere with fragile insect
bodies.)
And while the interest of media and the public in the
effects of exposure of honey bees to mobile
communication RF-EMF has drastically increased, there
seem to be no thorough research into their effects in
the scientific literature.
Only 8 officially published studies for a total of 12
experiments can be found on this. 6 of them have been
done in the last decade. Only 2 of them (Westerdahl
and Gary, 1981) did not find any significant effect on
flight, orientation of behavior of bees exposed to
microwaves but it is important to note that these 2
studies were not produced in the last decade and have
been done before the explosion of the massive increase
of wireless technology which we have had for the last
25 years.
Amongst other animals and plants, Insects like honey
bees and fruit flies have been used for the
investigation of RF-EMF because of their limited size,
short life cycle and the possibility of easily
detecting developmental defects and they have shown.
There are a few studies which state no impact of
microwaves on the animal species,but as the majority
of studies show negative effects this does raises the
question who has funded the few studies who showed no
negative effect because as there is so much money
involved in selling the devices for wireless
technology and in their use, that paychecks or other
reasons can be more important (as it is sadly the case
with many topics in the science world as I'm sure you
are aware off. I like to add here that I used to breed
a particular genetically engineered type of bird for
21 years. I never had problems until I got a wifi
router and a smart phone and used the Internet on the
smart phone in a different room running a straight
frequency line through some of the bird cages. Every
single hen and unborn female chick became infertile.
Two of the three house plants next to the router
stopped growing. There have also been studies done on
both. (The solution I've found out later is orgonite
which works incredibly good. My brother and I and a
few friends have been experimenting since. I will
attach a video link in where Georg Ritschl practically
proofs that orgonite can protect from microwave
radiation.)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nwxKB9IY3Js
The wifi router and my smart phone had also effected
my own health of which I wasn't aware off until I
switched the phone and the router off for one week.
Needless to say that I stretched the time up to a
month. I bought a cabled router after that and use a
older smart phone as emergency as the newer models
cannot be stopped from receiving wifi and satellite
signals.) (We have Pokemon players in the UK and when
they come the birds and others disappear but not due
the noise because the birds are used to noises in the
public park.
If you are familiar with Microwave expert Dr Barrie
Trower you will find the 'Effects' in table 3 in the
pdf below interesting and proof what the results of
the research studies Dr Barrie Trower have stated,
that microwaves cause indeed destruction to the living
beings in the natural environment.

●There is a lot to GMOs and Neonicotinoids and I trust
that you have some basic information how dangerous
each one or both together are for the human body-so
wildlife being more fragile are in great danger..If
you look into GMO expert Jeffrey S Smith, the founder
of Responsible Technology you will find enough
evidence which makes it clear that both can be linked
to all sorts of illnesses from autism over cancer to
diseases of the nervous system , causes behavior and
infertility after the 3rd generation (the epigenom
excluded of course).To think that GMOs and Neonics are
harmless or only effect farm animals and do no harm to
anyone else as some GMO and Neonic supporting
scientists want us to believe is simply insane .Here
is a article were Jeffrey explains the connection
between autism and GMOs in where he mentions that when
farmers switched from GMO to organic feeds the
aggressive behavior changed and the illnesses were
reversed.

It is also worth watching the full documentary of
Seeds of Death.

http://www.audubon.org/news/two-widely-used-pesticides-found-disorient-and-sicken-migrating-songbirds
●General pollution from toxins in plastics being
released into soil and water to cigarette butts is
also a big problem for which we have only seen the tip
of the iceberg so far. China for example has been
buying periodically thousands of bumble bees to
pollinate their crops from a friend in the Netherlands
who breeds them for that purpose. Their pollution is
so high that the bees don't survive but are needed.
In compare to you in the US we do have the MSM (and
nature documentary channels the MSM owns) reporting on
the decline of insects occassionally (which may well
be for the reason because more and more people notice
the insect decline and have started to ask question. )
Here is a summarization of a article published last
year:
http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0185809
And a 2016 article:
https://e360.yale.edu/features/insect_numbers_declining_why_it_matters
...It all adds up...(I used to say:'If you have a
river with fish and eat the fish then you must look
after the fish.If the fish getting less then you must
stop eating fish and eat something else until their
numbers have recovered.' We forgot to do that with the
insects.)
It does not take a rocket scientist Wifi,
pesticides/herbicides/GMOs and geo-engineering are the
biggest threats to life on earth
Personally I believe that geoengineering,
Neonicotinoids and GMOs and Microwaves are the major
mass killers of insects and natures biggest threats.
In regards to the no flying insects within 100 miles
of the Atlantic,Pacific or Gulf Coasts- I have to
research that myself as I have not spend much time
over the last year looking into things other than
what's neccessary. I have been using my spare time to
get my spiritual house in order once I became aware of
the possibilities planet x can cause in ceasing to
exist in this physical body.
Without looking into it there are a few logical
options: it can be a man made cause or several, like a
cocktail of the ones I mentioned above because
everything will eventually decline and cease to exist
when it and its unborn offspring is continuously being
destroyed, no matter in what numbers it exists. (Look
up the Passenger Pigeon.Very good example. It's
numbers were in Billions at a time when there were far
less humans living on this planet.)
Something changes or interferes with the earth
magnetic field which insects use for navigation (If
there are also no birds around or disorientated birds
than the earth magnetic field is changing or something
interferes with the earth's magnetic field).
A last option would be that there is a catastrophe on
the way affecting these areas because animals sense
things a long time before they happen. A friend of
mine used to be a expedition leader for nature science
teams and they have observed that phenomenon on many
occasions. Nature starts to let the slowest animals
migrate first before she ends with the fastest-Like
before Mt. St Helens blew there were hardly anything
living there,nor died. So to have insects on the move
before the larger ones would be a indication.If that
is the case then there would be reports of unusual
animal migrations coming from these areas. However if
you know more let me know, but I will still look into
it.)
Hope that helps.
Best wishes,

PS: The categories of the critters:
●Molluscs (no legs, soft bodies): snails,slugs, clams,
squids and octopodes.
●Annelids (no legs,bodies are divided into rings like
many little segments): most worms
●Insects (6 legs, small and often winged with a body
formed of a head,thorax and abdomen ):
●Arachnids (8 legs): spiders,scorpions,mites,ticks
●Crusteaceans and Myriapods (lots of legs) : crabs,
lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill, woodlice, and
barnacles.
PPS: many insects are easy to breed and a healthy
option for a diet.Here in Europe you can order insects
online for human consumption.It's worth looking into
that for rural survival.
It is also worth to look into natural options to get
rid of unwanted plants instead of chemicals. Friend's
of us have several free range and organic farms and
from pollinators to leopards slugs they have
established a bit of their own ecosystem and use
nothing chemical-nowhere.
