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?

Since we left Africa, human adaptation to new environments has been technologically driven rather than evolutionarily driven.
