There is one species of insect that appears to be doing well in my yard this year: green bees. I saw many of them on Sunday while I was outside taking pictures. According to Wikipedia, green bees live in rotten logs, which may explain why their numbers seem to be up. We have an abundance of rotten logs lately.
