Prickly City by Scott Stantis for August 25, 2021

I wish SHE would!! The insects would do a much better job then us HUGHmons!!!

(O _ O)

The insects already outnumber us.

I VOTE for the flies.

The roaches. The roaches will win. They can survive for a year on paint peelings.

I think ants will be the winners!

Outside of Prickly City there’s a different reality …

The world’s insects are hurtling down the path to extinction, threatening a “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems”, according to the first global scientific review.

More than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered, the analysis found. The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that of mammals, birds and reptiles. The total mass of insects is falling by a precipitous 2.5% a year, according to the best data available, suggesting they could vanish within a century.

I’ve often thought Mother Nature is napping. One day she’ll wake and go “Ewww” and wipe away the mess we’ve made all over her breast.

Said the Coyote at his evolutionary dead end.

You know, it is sad to see all the so-called “enlightened” commenters here wanting humans to die, be wiped out or culled to achieve their grand “utopian” vision.,

Reflect on that people.

‘Cause it’s the new Mother Nature taking overIt’s the new splendid lady come to callIt’s the new Mother Nature taking overShe’s gettin’ us all. She’s gettin’ us all

The goal of the Earth is Life, no one said it had to be human. . . . Our fate is in our hands.

Need to get rid of more right-wing populists to ward off the insects………………..quick, down some more ivermectin; it’s also a pesticide.

Some of the people insist upon devolving…

They already rule the planet:

Insect population on earth. Insects also probably have the largest biomass of the terrestrial animals. At any time, it is estimated that there are some 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000) individual insects alive.

And for the most part do whatever they please.

Wanting humans to die? Oh yeah, you mean where someone said “keep on doing what you’re doing” to the horse paste eaters, right?

There! Didn’t I say a couple of days ago that we’d see Colorforms Frolic Pose #1 real soon? And big, too.

Cicadas for everyone!

As far as we know, for the first time Earth has a species with the technological capability to protect this planet against an extinction level event from a bolide or asteroid impact. Us. Too bad we are not spending more effort towards such a defense.
