>>1868930Insects increased dramatically in urban areas this year because of covid.
Reason 1. Not mowing laws allowing for a wide variety of flowers and plants to grow
Reason 2. Not driving cars as much, our cars kill literally trillions of insects each year in north America alone simply from impact. Few cars were driving, therefore there was a big boost in insect numbers.
The lesson?
All human activity comes at a cost to the natural world.
