A 50 word story for the Friday Fix

“Mummy, where do butterflies go when it rains?”

Swish-swash-swish-swash

The wipers sweep away the drops.

“When I was your age, the windscreen would get plastered with splattered bugs driving through these fields.”

The glass is pristine now.

“Where did they go?”

“We poisoned them, so we could eat unblemished apples.”

97% of UK meadows have been eradicated since 1930 to make way for intensive farming.

Worldwide, more than 40% of insect species are declining and a third are endangered.

The total mass of insects is falling by 2.5% a year, suggesting they could vanish within a century.

Insects are essential for the proper functioning of all ecosystems, as food for other creatures, pollinators and recyclers of nutrients.

Prompt: I selected the line “For everything that’s walked this earth once living” from Andrew Bird’s song “Manifest”. Great song, profound lyrics, thanks @justindeming for the suggestion.
