I am also seeing reduced numbers of all arthropods on my 4 acres. I have owned this property for 30 years and gardened the Hell out of it so I know what was here back in the 90's. I grew cut flowers for market for a few years back then and the levels of bees, spiders, grasshoppers, everything was just incredible then. We had so many native bumbles that they would weigh down the flower stalks. I was so used to bees buzzing around me out there I had no fear of being stung and never was. We would have to shake the garden spiders off the pickings as we went. It was really the funnest thing I ever did!
Now everything is still here but not remotely in the numbers I used to see. The Bumbles that were so delightful are now a rare sight. I have neighbors around me doing hives and things sound okay with them but the native insects are another story. We have these magnificent spiders here that everyone calls the zigzag spider. They can be nearly 4 inches across and make huge circular webs that can be nearly 4 feet across! They are always a welcome sight for me but they are disappearing along with the large grasshopper populations they depend on for food. Whatever these psychos are doing that is causing this it is proof they care nothing about the environment or life on this planet. Is it the crop spraying? Is it the chem trailing? Is it the millimeter waves? Or all three and more? I have been wanting to ask you if you have seen the "spider web"/filament drops I have seen here on multiple occasions. I am talking about 30+ foot long hanks of multiple strands coming in by the hundreds and actually shining in the sun like silver. After a little while everything is covered in it. This occurs once or twice a year here. What the fuck is it and why are they doing it?
The top thing that set me off that something was wrong was the lack of crickets in the house. They would drive you insane with the constant chirping. I don't even hear them outside.
"All three. And More."
I've seen only two droppings of angel hair. Some was out front and I did what people on the web were talking about: I pointed my finger at it and it seemed to move towards my finger. This could be electrostatic attraction or it could be morgellons moving towards a likely host. I gloved up, got a freezer bag and got it off the bushes. I don't mess around with this kind of shit because I don't have a level 4 biohazard lab. But I guess the whole world is that now.
It appears to be like some sort of plastic polymer that superficially resembles spider web. Sometimes there is a slight greenish tinge. I'm the only one that ever notices anything's wrong......as usual. I have never touched it or seen it move or react. Next time I am going to look closer.
It's impossible to know what they've adapted in that floss. So I would at the very least wear two pairs of exam gloves an N95 just to film it with a zoom lense. At most you can poke a stick at it and see if it responds like it senses you. If you invert a plastic bag you can collect it without touching it and then seal the bag. If you happen to touch it then you can peel the outer layer of gloves and invert them to get rid of them before touching anything like your mask or commonly touched surfaces.
The odd 'co-incidence' was that I saw strongylodes parasites (whip worms on my porch) around the same time that moved with astonishing speed. And seemed to be headed for the front door. Since I'm fond of flame, I give one at the back door a sendoff to wormy hell. I don't know if their waxy cuticle is flame resistant but it took a lot of propane to get it to stop wiggling.
Well, then this explains all those web things I’m seeing out side, that glow and actually throw light! I actually caught my first one on my cameras outside, thinking to myself what in the hell am I seeing? So, to keep my sanity I went outside and sure enough these things are everywhere! Yet, I’ve not seen a spider in 3 years! Not that I’m a fan, but we need them.
It’s now to the point that we cannot even enjoy our own backyards these days and that really steams my clams!
You're right. I didn't even notice the grasshoppers and crickets are gone here in western Penn's ill Vania. Very few Lightning bugs too. All that's left are those nasty ass flies and the woods are fucking loaded with deer ticks! I do know they spray g'd-only-nose what in the river valleys to cut down on some insects. Plus they spray northern PA for gypsy moths every June. I don't go camping up there when they spray!
Just so everyone knows the highest toxicity will be during and after spraying but many insecticides have a 30 year half life which means that half of the toxin will still be there after 30 years so I woodn't be laying on the ground or breathing the dust for the next several thousand years.
Here i have for the last 5 years an infestation of ants... 3 types of them... do you know how we get rid of them Patrick? Also what is wrong with Franzetta site...?
With any vermin (take that how you want to) you have to determine its food source:
If you have mice in your house it might be because they are hunting beetles and crickets. Get rid of the insects and the mice will be less likely to enter or stay.
There are many different kinds of ants:
Some eat EVERYTHING like the black ants that eat wood will also raid your kitchen for leftovers but will also part-out the mouse that you missed in the mousetrap.
Little brown ants can be sweet eaters and tiny red ants can be grease eaters. The cleaner you are the less incentive they have to come in.
Once they are in you have to collapse the colony. There are two ways of doing this: Boric acid mixed with powdered sugar in a 40/60 or 30/70 ratio so that it isn't too nasty for them to reject and they will bring it back to the queen. Hive over. Or if you simply put some dish detergent in a sprayer and spray them every day all day it will mask their pheromone trails to the food source as well as killing them within seconds. You won't get the queen that way, but the colony cannot sustain itself beyond a certain point of losses and the hive will collapse.
This can be applied to any vermin.
I just saw the message. It was working the day I posted the links. We'll get on it.
I have the black ones... i have a smarler ones that are more or less red and are allways in the electrical wires and some of them have wings... and i have also a very very smaller ones almost transparent... the dish detergent i use since 3 years ago now i have to try the boric acid... when they altered the weather the ants that are very sensitive to magnetic fields are doing aberrant paterns ... i allways try to kill the most that i can to send the message to the colony... they bring the dead ones to the colony to eat them or mechanical fix them ... self reassemble bio machines... is how i see them... here in Algarve since 5 years ago every body complaines about this plague...
I've never seen them in electrical wires. The planet gets weirder by the second. The winged ones are leaving to start a new colony. Make sure you get those. If the detergent isn't working well then consider some cheap essential oil. It helps to melt the outer wax faster.
Love your idea of bringing home the injured drones to repair them in the Ant Factory.
Typically I only see ants inside the house after torrential rains. We've had a severe drought so they came in probably looking for an organic restaurant.
Yes the winged is the ones that i target first... the detergent works very well but the limon smell...
The essencial oil is a good idea... probably gloves is a good one...
I have a very conspirational mind my Friend!! I even think that they are build in the image of the parasites and are literaly bio-machines... i have made some experiences and isolate them with water... they even swimm pass some time... when the stronger eat the weaker...
When i kill them by the thousands i clean all so the others dont eat them or reassemble them in the new upgrated models with the memory of the kill and more... in the The Ant Factory (very good Patrick) hahahhaha .
Is Raining near you...???
Organic restaurant... hahhahahah so good
Make sure these ones are dissassembled and dont ever reasembled or you are going to have upgrated Super organic Bio-Machines that will make Killy Billy and Satan Klaus envy...

I was coasting a posted highway speed when I saw some people I knew walking in the country. I raised my hand to wave at them and had a bumblebee smash right into my wrist. I never waved at anyone from a motorcycle since.
When I was working for my neighbor he had one of those giant yellow ladybugs that they imported from Australia drop in his pop can and he made a face and said, "Those taste bad!"
I laughed at him and when my mouth was open the same species decided my mouth was a nice target and I got a taste. No wonder birds don't eat them!

Do you raise Clams?
Or are they wild-caught?
Wild caught, lol 😂.

I have eaten my share of raw bugs, usually when operating a motorcycle at super legal speeds w/o a helmet.
I can't recommend them.
I was coasting a posted highway speed when I saw some people I knew walking in the country. I raised my hand to wave at them and had a bumblebee smash right into my wrist. I never waved at anyone from a motorcycle since.
When I was working for my neighbor he had one of those giant yellow ladybugs that they imported from Australia drop in his pop can and he made a face and said, "Those taste bad!"
