Shouldn’t bugs adapt faster than humans?

2.19K viewsBiologyOther

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?

Both can be true. Some bugs don’t adapt and go extinct. Others adapt and live. Not every dinosaur adapted, but the ones that did wake me up every morning, chirping outside my window.
