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?

Why would the genetic adaptability of humans matter?
The worlds insects are NOT trying to survive from changes in the human genome. The issues they have are not caused by changes in human DNA.
They are trying to survive from radical shifts caused by the actions of humans that have taken place due to our technology improving and our population exploding. Both things have nothing to do with the rate of change of our DNA.
