Where have all the butterflies gone.

Quote:I suspect pesticides may be at fault. Not just farmers - but all individuals in their back gardens.

Too many  people are still using pesticides. The Monarchs have such a long migration. There are so many places where they are not protected.
We do our best for all the pollinators, but one  person with a can of poison can undo years of work. They don't just kill one set of insects. They kill all future generations from that set of insects. We have not learned to love, respect and cherish our pollinator friends and all the rest of the insect  family.  We need them all and yet we keep killing them.
