One in three fish caught never makes it to the plate

Family has lived on the same land in a very rural area for 38 years, so that is not really applicable. I would doubt there are enough mosquito traps in the county to make a difference.

Droughts, less open water available, more activity in said waters? That could account for some mosquito reduction.

But in other comment you mention other insects, so this indeed seems like a broader problem.

I don't know what it is, but it's absolutely disturbing. Insects are, by comparison with us mammals, incredibly resilient. Anything that is reducing insect populations on a massive scale is bad news for the entire world.

Try leaving out some old tires to collect water.
