Environmentalists in Britain
are reporting that certain wildlife is suffering badly from this year’s cold,
wet spring and summer. (It’s pouring with rain yet again as I write.) Worst hit, apparently, are the insects –
especially bees and butterflies – but that’s had a knock-on effect on birds and
bats, many of which haven’t survived. Slugs and snails, however, are thriving,
so maybe the time will come when those so inclined will stop putting plastic
butterflies in their gardens and move on to plastic slugs.

We're plagued by plastic deer around here. I don't get it.
What, big ones?!
Yes! Life sized, haha. Next time i drive by some i'll take a pic for you. A few years ago the trend was western (as in old cowboy stuff) style metal stars on the houses and barns and a few years before that 'shadow people' that looked like darkened silhouettes of cowboys leaning up against the sides of houses or fences, etc.
I prefer pink plastic flamingos.
You Americans have to do everything on a grand scale, don't you? The biggest thing you'd be likely to see in a British garden is a plastic heron, but mostly it's plastic butterflies, frogs and birds (oh, and the occasional gnome, but they're a phenomenon unto themselves.)
