      Too soon?

      Nope, not at all.

      I've heard of the band, but have never actually heard them.

      Then you have more than I because I've never even heard of them.

                            @scottalanmiller When i was a kid, in the fall my friends and i would get our wiffle bats and go outside during dusk time. There would be hundreds of flying ants or termites, and we would just smack them for a while. They dont exist anymore from what i can tell when i go back home.

                              I've definitely noticed a drop in "things flying around." It's nothing like it was when I was a kid.

                                I would agree - while my car still has lots of bug splatters, it's a fraction of what it was 20 years ago.

                                  Even five years ago. Driving from TX to NY used to always mean scraping the windshield clean a few times on the way. Now, barely a thing.

                                    And living in Central America... zero mosquitos. Bugs in the air are rare.
