Due to lack of surveys for invertebrates in general, it is impossible for me to fully evaluate the impacts to the insects. It is my opinion that the proposed project will attract insects to the bright lights created by the focused mirrors, and kill or wound them when they enter into the intense radiation. The attraction and loss of so many insects could create an ecological cascade effect on the landscape that affects many other local species including plants that rely on flying insects for pollination and animals that rely on insects for food. The proposed project in itself as well as in conjunction with other cumulative projects will further imperil already rare species driving them closer to extinction and may result in the need for additional species to be safeguarded under the Endangered Species Act protection.
