Makes sense, more people on the earth, more people squishing bugs, therefore less bugs.
 Quoting: LTHN.


humans are wiping out other forms of life due to their inability to control their exponential birth rate.

human expansion is constantly compressing the environment thus forcing species to survive with less and less.

thats the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76228962


I don't think it has anything to do with population. Humans and insects have been coexisting forever. There's still plenty of space on this planet for bugs to thrive.

I think it's got everything to do with GMO crops.

Is the problem the newer heavy-duty pesticides? I'm skeptical. Insects used to be able to adapt to survive whatever pesticides we threw at them, like bacteria growing resistant to antibiotics.

This leaves me wondering if the problem may be the GMO crops themselves. Are genetically modified plants killing the insects that eat them? Are the genetics of GMO crops finding their way into wild plants?
