'Alarming' loss of insects and spiders recorded
I'm sorry to go against the grain, but forgive me for not shedding a tear at the impending disappearance of insects and <i>shudders</i> spiders.<p>1: I am aware of the importance of insects in the food chain. I know that many animal species, like small birds, feed on insects. I fully accept the consequences. The extinction, or near extinction, of insects is worth the disappearance of some animals.<p>2: I'm carving an exception for bees. We need bees for pollination (for now).
