Just reading this thread in another forum called California Might Be Next...

In the thread people from around the world seem to be "feeling" the strangeness growing.

The OP from California speaks of a bee landing by him and falling over dead and also of his wife experiencing it raining dead bees. Then a UK poster says, "over here in the UK things feel very strange as well, in my town we haven't seen bees for two years now so we've grown accustom to not seeing them..."

I personally have noted over the last two summers a lack of certain insects in my area. Even times with virtually no insects in the middle of summer. Orb-weaver spiders used to be everywhere and I had to be careful not to walk into their webs in the yard at night or early morning. Last year there were absolutely none, this year only a few (no big ones in my yard as they used to be every single year). And I used to see cockroaches all around, especially at night in the yard. They always got into the house, too, but this year...not even one. I did searches and asked others if they noticed a lack of insects, but I found nothing.

This year also very few colonies of ants, and none coming in the house as usual. Few flies, too. It's been weird, but I've felt quite isolated in noticing this and thought perhaps it was just in my "reality" because I made searches and asked others if they noticed a lack of insects, but I found nothing.
