Saturdays Critters in June

Large red damselfly are awake.


I think this is a Northern damselfly or Spearhead bluet.

Walking around looking for wildlife is not fun nowadays. There are almost nothing to see.
The red damselfly seem to be of "normal" numbers. The blue one....a few years ago you saw them everywhere. Now I have seen 4 of them.

The no of moose and roe deer´s also lowered in no the past years. This was the first moose I have seen in 4 years. And, earlier I saw roe deer´s almost every week, but not anymore.

Insects and butterflies are rare. And I think birds have trouble feeding their young.  Where there used to be clouds of insects over the meadows it is now empty.

I have a no of National Geographic, Swedish edition, on my kitchen table. There is an article about the decreasing no of insects all over the world. It is a scary reading and I can see it in my area.
😭

Take care and be safe in C-times but also take care of your wildlife.

Linking up with the following memes. My thanks to the hosts:

  1. These are beautiful animal photos! It is shclimm that it is the same with you. It makes you sad and annoying that nothing changes much. For me it is also with the coastal heath 7 years ago I have seen so many different butterflies and insects but now almost nothing. The birds are getting less and less. In the morning I photographed so many birds on the beach this year hardly anything that was occasional and only rarely in droves.
    Take care of yourself, hugs Elke

  2. The decline in insects should alarm all of humanity. Without them we are doomed.

  7. Hi, these photos are a treat for the eyes when one cannot move about freely in these times and all there is around us are buildings. Take care.

  12. I know insects are in trouble which means the birds will be in trouble..It is so hard to take on top of everything else.....

  13. I agree that it is scary to realize the insect population is lowering so much that one can see it happening so fast. So sad too. The human race is slowly killing itself.
