| Description: | Dull in contrast and imagery Beetles lay dead and dying by the millions in Brittany, France. A man farming his land behind his plow looks up into the sky to see if more of the pest is returning. A helicopter comes to the rescue spraying insecticides killing off many beetles, future birds and other helpful little creatures on God’s, good earth. A triumph for modern agriculture? DDT? | |
