BIG INSECT PROBEM

You may not like insects, but all of life on earth needs them
to survive.

Birds, fish and reptiles feed on insects, and if there are no

insects, they die from hunger. As they die, predators which
eat birds, fish and reptiles die, too, which leads to a mass
extinction.

Furthermore, insects pollinate most plants which means

people cannot grow crops without them.

Insects are very important, so it was a great shock when a

report found that the mass of insects is falling by 2.5 per
cent a year. If this continues, there will be 25% less insects
in just 10 years. If that happens, all of life will be in terrible
danger.

There are two answers to why there are less and less
insects. It is probably earth’s rising temperatures, as well as
the use of chemicals in farming.
