If you have a bug zapper up, it's time to take it down.

A University of Delaware study analyzed nearly 14,000 insects killed by zappers over one summer. Mosquitoes accounted for less than 1%. The other 99%? Moths, beetles, midges, fireflies, and other beneficial insects.

It's even worse than it sounds: mosquitoes find you by carbon dioxide, body heat, and skin chemistry. Your zapper is completely invisible to them.

Meanwhile it's running all night massacring the pollination night shift.

A truly beautiful glittering emerald green hummingbird with fluffy white leg puffs and a cute white "bib" is flying in to sip from a red Japanese lantern flower. On the opposite side of the flower. a European honey bee approaches to steal a sip unchallenged. Birb is the Emerald-bellied Puffleg, truly one of the most beautiful pufflegs. Gardens at Owlet Lodge, Peru, where a great many species of hummingbirds are happy to fly in and check out anything red for potential nectar... Photo by Peachfront.
