  Because we killed them all. Pesticides, climate change, lawns… They’re dying out along with basically all bugs.

    I have billions in my lawn. Just plant locals (guerilla style) and they’ll be back.

      Here in Appalachia they light the trees up.

      Good god I’m lucky to live here. Wildlife everywhere (fuck deer though), beautiful rolling mountains all around, very few people. It’s a fucking paradise.

      Well, mostly. Very backwards, super religious people. I just pay them no mind.

        They look like fey having a parting when they are in the trees.

        I don’t see them where I am in Appalachia. I’m also in the woods though, an fireflies tend to congregate more in meadows and pastures. A lot of those are sprayed heavily with pesticides around here, which means not many fireflies.

        I’m honestly not even sure how many different baptist churches there are around me…

      no, this is borderline fascist propaganda

      Humans are great, and we have historically actively cared for our environments since we’re not stupid and realize that we kind of rely on the environments to survive.

      The problem is a few psychopathic greedy people who we have allowed to get power and control the world, when people think for themselves and reject the societal norms imposed upon them by these rich asshats you invariably see their surroundings improving alongside their quality of life.

        for one, let me have my shitty joke.

        And for two. I guess i should clarify that capitalism ruins everything instead.
