I was outside, next to a park on a lake, and I mentioned to someone the lack of ambient bugs. He was insistent that there were bugs around somewhere but it took me several minutes to locate ONE and it was the only one I could find.

No dragonflies, ladybugs, bees, wasps, butterflies, beetles, grasshoppers... I couldn't even see any ants, flies, or mosquitos. The one I found looked similar to a gnat. It's spring here. There should be bugs.
