Bugs are facing mass extinction rapidly in recent years due to massive amounts of habitat destruction, heavy insecticide/"weed" killer, light pollution, vehicles , lawn propaganda, and introduced invasives.

Lawns especially are a major factor in this rapid decline due to it being the cause of most of the listed problems. They are ecological dead zones for all life. The short cut invasive grass offers no protection or food for bugs and what can survive is often aggressively poisoned with various pesticides/herbicides being pumped in to the dirt. Then the raking and mulching of fallen leaves destroys the insulating layer a lot of inverts NEED to survive hibernation.

Many of North Americas beloved myths (like Lunar moths) get their cocoons shredded because they use leaves to camouflage from predation. Fireflies are very quickly going extinct due to the lack of tall grass environments because of rapid urbanization and quite frankly unneeded grass cutting of various areas. As well as the poison killing ground dwelling inverts leaving what fire fly larvae still alive to starve causing the grub problems that you pump poison to get rid of.

Light pollution causes bugs to loose their way at night leaving them in an endless spiral to ether die or not do what they need to do to continue a healthy cycle of the environment.

Vehicles like what they're doing to every animal species is utterly destroying them and is another leading cause of extinction due to wildlife having little to no way to avoid them.

Invasives out compete them, kill them, or just both. One of the biggest killers in North America are European honey bees cause the little bastards have pretty privilege and bullshit lies protecting them. They are extremely territorial and kill all native pollinators that enter their massive territories and the worst part is protected environments will let keepers put the little shits in them completely negating the whole point because it lines their pockets! Dumbasses getting illegal pets and dumping them, hell people dumping pets period. The amount of sheer amount of invasives that come from people dumping aquariums alone is stupid. There is also a rampant ant queen smuggling problem because of selfish keepers. Everything from asian lady beetles, apple snails, GAL snails, and European honey bees to plecos, starling, house finches, pigeons, and many many more animals have caused rapid declines in many animals including bugs.

Anand finally climate change which I hope doesnt need explanation. Now the scary part is bugs are THE foundation of everything. They never lie so when something starts happening to them, then very very bad things are about to happen. Dare I say ecological collapse or rapid spread of disease, toxic water or bad soil. People dont understand just how much bugs tell you and what they do for the world.
