Winter musing - Poll on Bugs
Once after a land out and awaiting a tow home I attempted to calculate the number of bugs flying in the Mifflin task area. I admit to a lot of Kentucky windage here, but I estimated the area the wing swept as it flew, took a guess at what percentage of the task area volume that was (lots of zeros here), counted the bugs on the wings and came up with a number of roughly 2 billion.
Those swifts and swallows are up there for a reason. Wonder if we'll notice any difference as a result of the bat die off? KS
