THESE INSECTS HAVE ALWAYS FASCINATED ME. UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO THERE WERE MANY IN OUR AREA. UNFORTUNATELY THEY HAVE DISAPPEARED, LIKE MANY OTHERS. THIS WAS THE LAST ONE I SAW.
HOWEVER, OUR MOUNTAINS ARE ONE OF THE FEW ECOSYSTEMS THAT HAS NOT BEEN DESTROYED BY AGRICULTURE, ONLY THE ELDERLY CULTIVATE SOME MODEST GARDENS TO FEED THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF SUBSISTENCE WITH PENSIONS OFTEN NOT EXCEEDING 300€.
NOBODY UNDERSTANDS WHAT IS GOING ON, WINTER AND SPRING CONTINUE TO OFFER HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT FLOWERS, BUT WITH THE UNEXPLAINED DECREASE IN INSECTS I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BE...

A reality... Einstein said that long ago..." If the bees disappeared off the face of the Earth, man would only have four years left to live.”

It is a mystery Isabel. Last year I hardy saw a butterfly in my garden, whereas other years there have been so many! A beautiful picture.

What a magnificent stick insect...........I've never seen one of these in the wild. They look amazing and it's such a shame that they, in common with hundreds of species of insects, are in decline or have become extinct.

I also like the wild carrot flower Isabel..........expecially when they become seed heads and make beautiful "basket" shapes.

I love wild carrot flowers at all their states… but am really sad about insects, bugs, spiders etc in decline or extinct…

Wonderful, I love stick insects :-) They are so clever looking like twigs that most of the time you can hardly detect them. Oh, I do hope they'll return! Perhaps they're just on vacation somewhere else?? ;-))

I just remember a sign at the Botanical Garden in Frankfurt...please don't bring stick insects to the garden as they might upset some of the other insects or plants. And I was wondering...who on earth would carry stick instects around to set them free in a botanical garden?? Perhaps that's what happened though...people collect them and try to keep them in their gardens or at home as pets!!
