Yeah, flies used to be the bane of my childhood summers, now we only get a few. Haven't heard the deafening roar of Cicadas for a long time either.
Still have plenty of spiders here, and lots of frogs, but nothing like the insect population of my 70s childhood, that is for sure.
Also find it nearly impossible to find Pippies at the beach, which were plentiful and great fun when I was a kid, the rock pools are relatively empty too.
The soldier crabs still seem to be on the march, much to my kid's delight when we visit Urunga, but the other small creatures and bugs seem to have dwindled considerably.
