Short thread about insects:
1. Had a van driver delivering to me today. His van covered in squashed insects. He said he hasn't seen the likes in 25 years. I was noticing the same a few days ago.

Chat ensued about how this was mostly just because many less vehicles on the road at the moment. Then went on to discuss how many more are probably now surviving due to less traffic. And then to how much of a factor traffic is in insect decline.

And conversation then went to possibly mathematically modelling the contribution of traffic to loss of insect life in Ireland. Always felt it was a major factor. This looks like evidence.

Wonder if @Audrey_UL knows anyone in @ULMaths that could model this?
