Your favorite Insects may not be around forever, let’s do everything we can to prevent their extinction. Top 3 causes of insect population decline- 1. HABITAT LOSS- urbanization & intensive agriculture drives them from their natural habitats preventing them from feeding/breeding. 2. PESTICIDES- chemicals sprayed on crops for “pests” do not only kill pests, they kill everything in the surrounding areas. 3. CLIMATE CHANGE- Altered weather patterns, unseasonable warming, and disrupted rainfall cycles throw off the delicate timing insects rely on for foraging and reproduction. HOW TO COMBAT THIS: 1. Plant native plants 2. Don’t use pesticides 3. Buy local organic produce Donation link bio!
