Climate change strikes; anyone else missing critters?? [View all]

For the first time ever there are no wasps present this summer. The opossums that I feed to keep the ticks cleaned up are not to be found. No black snakes, no bears, no deer. Again, first time ever. I'm in foothills of Blue Ridge and I can only guess they've moved up higher in the mountains.
