Where Did All the May Beetles Go?

Remember those buzzing May beetles that used to signal the rainy season in Costa Rica? They’ve basically vanished—scientists say their numbers have crashed by 95% in just 40 years! Blame goes to pesticides, hotter temps, and rapid urban growth. It’s not just a local thing either; insect populations are dropping everywhere, and that’s bad news for the whole planet. Lawmakers might finally ban the worst pesticides, but will it be enough to save these iconic bugs? #Biodiversity #InsectDecline #CostaRica #Science
