I live fairly near a jungle.

Let say 10 years ago I always see cicada(green/brown), frogs and big grasshopper(close to the length of my palm).

Early morning after rain there at times there will be bees swarming my lamp post.

But these days I rarely see them maybe none. Feel sad for my kids that they won't be able to enjoy nature as I did.
Maybe we use too much chemicals

Dragonfly I see when I was a kid was nice red or green. Now some dirty colour one.

Millipede still got once in a while but more common in my area is black one with yellow stripe.

Grasshopper still got small small ones.

Don't care for cicada. All night make noise. Wanna catch make even louder noise. Spray ridsect je.

Pesticides wiped out 75% of unique insects, i.e., extinction of 75% unique species of insects. This is a known fact.

Many trees are also dying. Nobody observe numerous dead trees along their roads? Is like the growth is no longer as lush as before and the mortality rate went up.

Cicadas are pretty passive insect. Only thing last time is when they fly inside the house they fly aimlessly and hitting everything in the house.

But when they are outside they just stay on the walls.
