With the severe decline in bat populations everywhere, you'd expect to see an increase in the insect population. However, the opposite is true, insect populations are declining rapidly across the globe. I remember when I was a kid in the 80s, a car ride in the summer meant the front end of the car and windshield were plastered with dead insects. This just doesn't happen anymore.
