Just wanted to be sure that you added one of the currently-missing reasons for the horrific 80% population decline: hugely intensified "ethanol cropping-corn # soybeans." Farmers here in the Midwest are putting all of their land into these PESTICIDE INTENSIVE (ROUNDUP READY) GMO crops that bring high prices due to their demand in ethanol production. Not only are the butterflies impacted by the pesticides, as such, but also by the fact that their food supplies (like MILKWEED) on these fields have now been virtually exterminated by the vastly-increased herbicide applications.
