A week ago I had a 5 hour layover at an Omaha, Nebraska, airport so
I rented a car and drove northeast out into the farm country.
I stopped along a rural gravel farm road and walked down into the ditches
next to fields of GMO soybeans and corn that were grown from neonicotinoid
coated seed.  There I shot this 4 minute video of the abundant
butterflies and birds I saw:

Kind of ironic that both insects and birds are abundant in exactly
the same farm monoculture habitat settings where many city folks 
seem to believe they have largely disappeared due to the widespread
planting of GMO crops grown from neonicotinoid coated seed.
