Insects have been around for 400 million years, during which time they survived a lot of varying natural conditions.

Despite the Guardian’s alarmism - a constant theme with that “newspaper” - I think they’ll still be around for a lot longer.

>>“Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects as a whole will go down the path of extinction in a few decades,”

We should be “sharing” our crops with the invasive insects, dammit.

Tell the Left to stop having the deep fried bug eating parties then. Murderers!

Another jeremiad by the Guardian, with its reckless intent revealed in the final paragraph:

Man bad. Bugs good.

Although I have noticed a lot fewer bugs on the windshield last few years. Are cars getting more aerodynamic or have bugs figured out how to cross the street?

Apparently the no-see-ums and mosquitoes here in Florida did not get the memo. Will gladly send some to The Guardian.

That being said, about the only bug I no longer see down here is the firefly. I haven't seen a firefly in at least 30 years. :(

Not sure about this. It’s very noticeable that there are less insects splattered all over the front of my car in summer these days. When I was younger there were a lot.

A few years back, we were informed by the best and brightest that bees were going extinct. Then they weren’t.

It’s because people found out they “taste like chicken”.

This thread looked weird - no mention of climbutt change, and therefore no Goebbels. So, the question arises... is this thread worthy of any Goebbels? I went to the article, and lo and behold:

1. Urbanisation and climate change are also significant factors...

2. rising temperatures due to climate change are ...

3. ...largely due to climate change. and last, but not least:

4. ...all the things [eradicating insects], including climate change,” he said.

Therefore, this thread gets awarded four (4!) Goebbels.

If the result is the death of all red fire ants - count me in.
