As an entomologist and naturalist, I've watched the decline and
disappearance of insects where I live and have lived. This is cause for
alarm. The question is, what's the cause? It doesn't appear to be solely
due to pesticides, since the decline is also taking place in nature
preserves and tropical rain forests, as well as in the mountainous area in
which I live, where there is close to zero pesticide exposure.
