## Resource

Scientists are noticing fewer bugs on car windshields—and it’s a worrying sign. In France, researchers are launching a citizen science app called “Bugs Matter” to track insect decline. Drivers simply log bug counts after trips, helping scientists gather nationwide data on a critical ecological issue. Your windshield could be a vital tool in saving the planet’s insect populations.
