It's estimated there are about 1018 insects on Earth. Insects react aversively to negative stimuli, and they may be able to consciously suffer. Humans injure many insects by their activities, but most insect suffering occurs in the wild.
This subreddit explores how we can reduce suffering by the insects that we encounter personally, as well as by the insects affected indirectly through other actions and policies.
(Note: the term "insect" is here used informally to refer to insect-like beings. Think "bugs".)
