The Insects Are Moving, and the Planet Is Sending a Warning
Insects are revealing how quickly the planet is changing. Freshwater species are declining, with many losses still undocumented. Rising pesticide use and polluted runoff are placing new pressures on rivers and wetlands. Pollinators such as bees and butterflies are shifting their ranges as climate changes, reshaping ecosystems and food production. At the same time, mosquitoes and ticks are expanding into new regions as temperatures warm, increasing disease risks. These shifts show insects acting as early signals of accelerating environmental change.
