Some of the hardiest, most resilient species of life on our planet are insects, having persisted for hundreds of millions of years. Not any longer. They are no match for our pesticides, that seem to be the primary reason for the loss of 76% of insect biomass (total insect mass) in a mere 27 years in a protected nature reserve in Germany. When pesticides were first used in much lower quantities they increased crop yields, but now they decrease crop yields since they wipe out the pollinators.
