Less nocturnal Invertebrates means less larvae / caterpillars for birds to feed their young, which means bird populations drop.
Bats, moths (ex. luna moth, rosy maple moth, Cecropia silkmoth, and Promethea silkmoth), and fireflies also suffer.
#BringBackTheStars #BeNightSkyConscious #NaturalNight
Help #BringBackTheStars by changing your outdoor lights to #BeNightSkyConscious - Amber Lights (3000 Kelvin or less), Hooded (only shines down), and On Only When Needed (Timer/Motion Sensor). It really is that easy. All it takes is for everyone to do it so anyone, anywhere can see all the stars!
I have been promoting #BringBackTheStars #BeNightSkyConscious
for this subject. Especially since "darksky" is unfortunately also a porn tag 😰
