What happens if all the insects disappear @Ætos
All of them?
That would be pretty bad.
Yes including mosquitos
They are all part of the circle of life.
To a very minimal extent in the case of mosquitoes
Then what would happen to all the birds?
A lot of life would disappear
Insects cary much of the reproduction cycle of many plants
Studies have been done that indicate mosquitoes have such a minimal impact on the ecology that making the most disease ridden species extinct would not be detrimental.
According to scientists if all the insects disappear...all human life would disappear in 4 years.
I don’t want all the insects gone
Just mosquitoes.
But bees and other similar insects spread much of the pollen
Almost every creature contributes an important part of the natural ecological cycle. Mosquitoes are one of few that actually make things worse.
Now that I think about it...I don’t see earth worms much anymore either 🤔
Worms are good.
Well, some
Earthworms certainly are
Earthworms are very important to the ecological system.
True
I wonder the impact of herbicides and insecticides on the earth worm. 🤔
Haven’t heard about that one.
🤔
I’m sure it hasn’t been very good
Probably not
I do think Worms are some of the most adaptable species. They probably can adjust more readily than most things.
Our soils are depleted of most minerals. That too probably affects the earth worms.
That said, that doesn’t mean they haven’t been affected.
Our soils aren’t really depleted of minerals.
Yes they are
Especially iodine
Of iodide
Oh, nvm
I don’t know about soil iodide levels, so I won’t speak on that.
Magnesium as well
@jlegend I posted a video about gmos I will post it in the gmo channel as well. It is a must watch!!!
soil depletion include protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin and ascorbic acid, according to a study published in 2004
