The question is not "Where are the insects?" but rather "Are they disappearing?" In New England where I have lived for 50 years, the answer is yes. Car windshields and grills are clean most of the summer. We used to have to vacuum moths and other insects from between the screens of our house windows. Not now. Porch lights used to besurrounded by many varieties of interesting moths and we would love to look at the window screens and door screens to see these beautiful creatures. The hundreds of butterflies that used to fly like winged flowers in the meadows during my childhood are gone. Bird species are fast diminishing as well.

Last year I spoke to a young man who had driven coast to coast without having serious bug juice on his windshield. I have walked around parking lots inspecting cars (do this yourself) throughout the northeast and I see the same thing: Clean windshields, clean grills. This is very troubling.

Here in Dallas, TX my fruit trees and flowering shrubs are blooming, but there are no pollinators yet. There are no insects at all, that I have seen outside for several days, that I can remember. I am not sure if there is some poisoning here in Frisco, north of Dallas, or if there has just been a die back from the last warm spell hatching of insects, and the pollinators haven't come out yet for the spring.

What 3 reasons why insects seem to disappear in the late fall?

Insects seem to disappear in the late fall primarily due to dropping temperatures, which can be inhospitable for many species. Additionally, shorter daylight hours signal to insects that it’s time to enter a dormant state or migrate to warmer areas. Finally, a decrease in food availability, such as the wilting of plants and reduction of flowering, contributes to their decline in visibility.


Why do insects seem to disappear in the late fall?

Insects often seem to disappear in late fall due to changing environmental conditions, such as dropping temperatures and reduced daylight, which signal the onset of winter. Many species enter a state of dormancy or hibernation to survive the cold months, while others may die off, with only eggs or larvae remaining to emerge in the spring. Additionally, food sources become scarce, prompting insects to seek shelter or perish. This seasonal cycle is a natural adaptation to ensure their survival until warmer weather returns.
