It's hard to accept…

       …BUT - We are losing insects; as evidenced by every Windscreen and Number-Plate.  Still When you see three insects at one set of Flowers as seen at Houghton yesterday - THEN - go out for a point & click session on the front Grass and see only two yellow flowers open.
       The first I came to was at the "East" end of the Grass with four cantering about on a Dandelion - couldn't resist it.  Moseyed along to the other end of the lawn, to the "Cat's ear" end, a whole 10 paces, where I found another  tripping gaily about on the only open Cat's Ear in sight.
