I have noticed this in the suburbs specifically. Just over the span of my short life I've seen pretty much all the bugs in any area I've lived in disappear, along with the bats that eat them.

Have they built it up a lot while you were living there?

Not terribly? My hometown only expanded by one housing development, but most of those houses have not sold. But we had to close our windows at night because the mosquito sprayer trucks would spray so much fog that it impacted my mom's breathing. When I was a kid we had fireflies and bats in the backyard.

As for my current town, I am not surprised at the lack of bugs since it's all corn and nothing but corn; no real rivers, no big ponds, no forests near town, nothing that could shelter bugs outside the houses.
