Car ‘splatometer’ tests reveal huge decline in number of insects theguardian.com/environment/20… @KentWildlife @dpcarrington @MattEAShardlow #NoInsectinction
A new study warns that fireflies could eventually face extinction globally because of multiple threats, including light pollution. It’s getting harder for fireflies to reproduce because #lightpollution is outshining their mating signals. nytimes.com/2020/02/03/cli…
Fireflies are facing extinction due to habitat loss, pesticides and artificial light cnn.it/37YTNMA
Wildlife can’t just close the curtains at night. Please turn off unnecessary lights, switch to motion sensors, and make sure existing lights are shielded (the light points down only) and amber in color (or yellow bug lights with no blue spectrum). 🦋
