Insect numbers declining

[Catherine]

Ecologists who study insects are sounding the alarm. Insect numbers are declining rapidly. One of the main reasons is increasing global temperatures.
Dry seasons are lasting longer and many insects can't adapt to the change. If insects decline, then the birds that depend on them for food are also in trouble.
It is a complex problem that has global implications.

This is the decline that could destabilize a lot of different habitats. We fail to understand how much we need insects.
It is not just the bees that we need. We need all the insects. We need to find a balanced way to live with them. In the case of the effects of global warming, the insects are more of a warning sign for us. We don't fully understand what insect decline will mean for us. We are about to find out the hard way.
