Have you seen any dead butterflies lately?

If so, the U.S. Geological Survey wants you to mail them their way, along with deceased moths and skippers. The agency is collecting specimens from six states — Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas — to test if contaminants are leading to declining insect populations.

Republican shithole states without large enough state budgets for science and research, I'm shocked

God forbid you do something for the good of the planet. Go jump in your V12 10 litre truck and run over a dolphin or something
