During the lockdown period, city dwellers welcomed the reclaiming process of nature. Plethora of photographs of rarely-seen birds, butterflies, etc. (clicked from balconies) were all over social media platforms. Then I heard a few complain about the simultaneous rise in the numbers of insects. Selective empathy? Well, nature is not some Swiggy app, where you can categorically select and order your favourite food items. When nature, in its true sense, arrives, it does so entirely. Where weeds grow, there would be insects. Where there are insects, there would be small birds to eat them. Small birds attract big birds of prey. That's because every species has a specific role to play, and all of them are heavily interdependent on each other. Something to ponder upon? What do you think?
