Here No More

Local insects.

Many airports greet travelers with pictures of tourist attractions and exhibits on local history.

This year the San Francisco Airport, International Terminal, provides information about insects, with a section devoted to those found in the Bay Area.

Some scientists are saying we are in the midst of an insect apocalypse. It's hard to imagine that we'll miss them, but like the Native American tribes and the orchards of Santa Clara, we might have some regrets after the insects are gone.
