The world needs the skeeters. Fish, birds, reptiles, and the occasional cyclist eat them. Skeeter larvae are also really good at cleaning the water. Pretty cool to watch them skim around cleaning/eating everything. Constant grazers.
Who's the idiot who let these viruses come to the US? Can't bring a piece of fruit with you from out of the country, but you can come here illegally and never be examined.
Huge if true.
We have these were I live. I see them all the time laying eggs in my patio ponds. They're invaders from the 80's.

You have me thinking. Especially with the porch light story since now that I think about it…it's pretty tame with it on at night now. Haven't even seen or been pelted by a June Bug in a long time. Some of those beetle bugs are pretty cool looking.
15 yards out my back door is 200 acres of woods. I should be seeing more.
Tell that to the police bots.
Those junebugs can hurt at speed. I should be getting a backyard full of fireflies in a week or two. I suspect they'll come around. The other bugs seems to be missing. Next time the sun goes down I'll check and see if the bats come out to eat the flying insects. Still seeing plenty of spiders (thank god for my lizard families) and moths.
Maybe it isn't chemicals, but cell phone towers, wifi, etc..
Copper in the blood.
