Do you convert dead organic matter into fertile soil or pollinate flowers? They do. If insect populations were to vanish, so would humans. They perform too many vital functions that humans cannot.

Yes... Sorry, I didn't mean I didn't understand what bugs do or why they're important. I just was trying to understand the meme. I was not aware that there's universally less bugs. I haven't seen this covered in news.
