This happened recently, and of course I chose the second option, as I generally do with most wildlife other than clothes moths, tiny black flies, or mosquitoes, which tend to get option four if they don't already get zapped by my zapper. I would imagine things might be different regarding more dangerous critters. Any thoughts?
I have many spiders living in my camp.
They eat the little tiny bugs that crawl about every enclosed space.
I put them outside when they become really large and brave.
In the past, there were thousands of insects living here outside. Now, there are very few because of unrelenting development. Not only here in my little portion of the world, but everywhere else.
I used to have thousands of moths and bugs on my screen at night in the summer where I live.
Now there are none. Literally.
We need bugs. All bugs. They are part of the natural ecosystem. My new neighbors who move to the lake, tear down the small camps, build Mc Mansions, cut down as many trees as possible and spread a constant spray of insecticide possible, have single handedly killed a vast majority of the insects previously here.
It is even worse out west
Farming, ranching and development has killed all bugs during all seasons.
Evey time I have traveled west over the past 20 years, the insect life has plummeted.
Last time I went there was total silence in the lands. No more bugs.
The silence has moved very quickly in my direction.
Moral of the story? Be nice to spiders and stop the total destruction of our ecosystems please.
