The third paragraph, which states, "The decline of Ohio's butterflies has been captured through statistics and recorded data," supports the idea that "the scientific literature abounds with anecdotes." This connection highlights that while there may be many stories or observations about insect decline, there is also solid statistical evidence documenting the decline specifically seen in Ohio's butterflies.
