I live in rural Oklahoma and they are gonna start popping off in my back yard any week now. I love sitting in my yard on a warm summer night watching them come in by the hundreds. I heard they are becoming endangered though idk

Yep turns out frequent use of pesticides kills the bugs we like just as well as the bugs we don’t like :/
