Shouldn’t bugs adapt faster than humans?

I hear folks saying bugs are dying off because of changes in the environment, but shouldn’t bugs be some of the best equipped to handle changes? I imagine they reproduce faster than humans, and so I’d think their genes could adjust faster as well. You’d think we’d be having a worse time than bugs as the environment changes?

environmental changes like pollution and global warming are happening instantly compared to the speed of the evolution of any animal bigger than a bacteria. No time to evolve to survive it yet.
