Very cool, but I don’t want to dwell on all the bugs one would swallow cycling through one of these cities.
We have a wild garden, and people often ask if there are not bugs everywhere, and tell us they like grass to keep the bugs away. Well quite contrary - our findings are, that in our wild garden, bugs are around the plants, in the plants, but they are not are problem in the spaces we have created for ourself at all. I think people have misunderstood why insect swarm.
If anything the bug problem might be slightly improved since the ecology would be friendlier to things that eat bugs, such as frogs, lizards, and bats.
Of course, then you've got the problem of frogs and lizards getting into your house. And, ultimately, things that like to eat frogs and lizards, like snakes.
Bug populations are down 80%, anything we do to help them is needed.
I recently drove an old van through the countryside and had to spend 20 minutes washing off insect bits afterwards, like in the good old days...
