Some specifics please?  Monarch Butterflies? Not hardly...monarchs
having a population boom this summer in the 100,000's of miles worth
of farm road ditches in the upper Midwest that border the GMO
corn and soybean monocultures that are grown from neonic treated
seed.  I will video document this boom around August 1.

Black Swallowtails? No, they had a banner year last summer
in the upper Midwestern GMO farm road ditches:

Bumblebees? Nope, they're all over the Midwestern farm road 
ditches too, except, the ones that have been recently mowed or 
are chronically lacking flowers due to excessively frequent mowing.
