In my own experience in the field I have not noticed a decline,
Um i did, but mostly because of butterflies, the pastures arround here used to be full of them, now your lucky to notice one. Cant be too sure since i haven't fished in a while with grasshoppers, but i think there are far fewer of them also. But as fare as pesticides and the like go my country is strict so there is probably another cause besides the obvious one pesticides.

Cause all your bats died off and no one is eating them. Though Tanypteryx is probably right.
Thing is we have no idea on how much a single species or its absence can effect the ecosystem until they do.
This docu shows the impact that a single species can have. Once the pollinating bugs are gone or to few we will probably have only one course of action left to us. That is to bend over tuck our hed between our knees and kiss our ass goodbye.
