Hi-

Have others in the upper midwest US noticed almost no insect singing this s=
ummer?
We had a very cold winter, a very slow fade-in spring and as yet no stretch=
es of really warm days/nights.
Could populations just be really low? I've seen only a few small crickets a=
nd small grasshoppers.

Its very eerie to have the windows open at night in mid July and hear nothi=
ng except a single cricket chirp for 2-4 seconds and maybe again in 15 minu=
tes,..

Thanks
Rob D.
