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

@ramkay @bovaz @dbattistella 1996 cannot have been three decades ago
@jawnsy@mastodon.social @ramkay@mastodon.social @dbattistella@mstdn.ca I think they meant decaliters. "1996 was three decaliters ago", as in they drank 30 liters of, presumably, water since them. So it's less than a month ago, which sounds about right. -

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.
#Nature #Insects #Bugs #Pollinators@dbattistella we have four in the house. They'll stay. No goddamn place for moths.

@bovaz @dbattistella @ramkay Thank you, this makes much more sense

#Nature #Insects #Bugs #Pollinators@dbattistella I've never had a zapper, but can you provide a link to the study?
