I don't even see butterflies anymore. Sad.

Plant milkweed and don't touch your dead leaves!

Steal one, then turn it into a bug factory.

I have probably seen a total of three bees in person in the past 10 years.

Our planet is dying in front of our eyes.

How fucking depressing is it. Meanwhile, republicans are doing everything they can do fuck us over even more.

What are you doing about this? All I see is people posting complaints like you are, and massive protests being completely ignored by everyone. Republicans only respect violence, and the left doesn't value violence so we are left looking like limp impotent bitches.

I haven't seen a butterfly during most of my teenage years but have seen a resurgence last few years because gardening as a hobby became huge for mothers and young adults alike.

My mother used to have a small but lushful garden when I was a child but she wasn't able to maintain as many plants because busy and budget.

Now you remind me I haven't seen a ladybug in probably more than a decade

I saw more this year than previous years. I wonder what legislation passed locally
