It's probably more than twenty years now since I've seen even one.

yes, it is pretty localised.
But more people means more houses and roads, less trees and scrub so less area for wildlife.

We have many insects in out backyard as we put a forest in there.

But the maggots prefer you. Grin

Correction: It's not just blowflies that are attracted to Yadda.

JSin is also attracted to Yadda. JSin follows blowflies to get the first bite of the smelliest steaming stuff.

One-third of bird species and more than one-third of the bird population are facing extinction by the year 2100.

Quote:

Could birds go extinct?

There is a general consensus among ornithologists that if anthropogenic activities continue as current trends suggest, one-third of all bird species, and an even greater proportion of bird populations, will be rendered extinct by the end of the 21st century.

JSin doesn't deserve more than "stupid and desperate".

That's why he buzzes around Yadda's South end when Bobbies South end is otherwise engaged.
