LYRICS
Haven’t we met before
Weren’t you coming out the door
I recognize your face
Coming out of that place
Did you know you had to come out
To get in
That’s what begin
Is about
Like a bug meeting windshield
Your insides revealed
What are you made of….
Any of it love
Did you know you had to come out
To get in
That’s what begin
Is about
Like a bug meeting windscreen
When your insides are seen
Your innards… what you ate
Full of hate?
Are you full of hate
Appreciate the love
Have we met before
Will your memory endure
What are you made of….
Any of it love
Did you know you had to come out
To get in
That’s what begin
Is about

Entomologists call it the windshield phenomenon. “If you talk to people, they have a gut feeling. They remember how insects used to smash on your windscreen,” says Wolfgang Wägele, director of the Leibniz Institute for Animal Biodiversity in Bonn, Germany. Today, drivers spend less time scraping and scrubbing. “I’m a very data-driven person,” says Scott Black, executive director of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation in Portland, Oregon. “But it is a visceral reaction when you realize you don’t see that mess anymore.”
Neonicotinoid pesticides, already implicated in the widespread crash of bee populations, are a prime suspect.
Paying attention to what E. O. Wilson calls “the little things that run the world” is worthwhile, Sorg says. “We won’t exterminate all insects. That’s nonsense. Vertebrates would die out first. But we can cause massive damage to biodiversity—damage that harms us.”
