Replying to someone

Op vakantie in Frankrijk viel me ineens op dat daar veel meer vlinders rondfladderen dan in Nederland. De afname van insecten gaat sluipenderwijs. Je merkt bijna niet dat dit niet normaal is

Ja, dat is wel een probleem. Jongere generaties herinneren zich ook niet dat er in Nederland 's zomers overal vlinders rondfladderden.
