The butterflies and dragonflies are far less in number as they might have been adversely affected by recent floods and incessant rains.
In fact environmentalists suggest that when tier population decline, it is a pointer to ecological imbalance.
They grow and multiply in clear environment.
I looked for butterflies and dragonflies all along the flower beds on the roadside yesterday and found only one each. Even honey bees were only few in number.
It would take a while when these little creatures return to our environment.
I have a suspicion that the bird population too have been affected by the climatic changes. I do not notice waterbirds around the water bodies !
I wish there was a deliberate effort in every garden or farm to have a corner where dragon flies and butterflies can make their home!
