The automatic graphic based on your locations is neat. It shows how many species are declining, flat or increasing based on your location. For mine it gave me 82 species decline (yikes), 18 no change, 14 increase. Now, that is from a USA-wide analysis, but it is alarming to say the least.
Interesting article. Sad, too. Our local butterfly compiler for our local counts just shared this article too.
