Hi! I have seen a lot of posts of people saying that the extinction of insects would be this huge bad thing but how?
In: Other
Food Webs would collapse. Insects, along with other classes of animals, are involved in the nutrient and energy cycles that govern life on earth. They are scavengers to help decay dead plants and animals. They provide food for other insects and animals. Their interactions with plants help pollination allowing food to grow.
While, technically, “life finds a way” to overcome changes, losing all insects would be so change-intensive, we would not have the same world ever again. Numerous other classes of animals and plants (not just species) would die out to help re-establish the new normal.
