Butterflies And Dragonflies Gone
Personal memory by Thomas Haevy
2005 CE • Krasnodar, Россия
I remember in my childhood dozens of butterflies flopping their wings over my head as I walked down the street in my neighborhood. Dragonflies were abundant in the summer. Now they are gone. It's so sad witnessing them go extinct so fast.
