I vacillated all day on whether I actually wanted to answer this question(?) because if you're not familiar with the situation, it might be a blissful oblivion. However, if it were me, I'd rather know.
Among the many other potentially apocalyptic situations going on, insects are dying out. If insects die en masse, especially pollinating ones, our entire ecosystem dies. Which means no food. Even if you exclusively eat meat, your meat eats plants, which require insects.
Therefore, I wouldn't mind a few more bugs around so that I could feel confident of continuing to be able to find nutrients.
I didn’t know that ! Is this a very local thing ?
No, it's worldwide. Further information: [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations](insect apocalypse)
