What about the non bee insects?
Not many realize this, but sticking with the non-bee pollination theme you have things like beetles, butterflies, moths, some species of flies, ants, wasps... the list goes on.
Non-inscect options include some speciea of bats and birds.
That's not even getting into the tons of other useful things insects do.
1/4th of all known organisms are a beatle
Statistically speaking one of them must be a beatle 🧐
I always said that if I wasn't a human, I would be a rhinoceros beetle (kabutomushi).
Apparently I may have been right!
That is a very strange thing to say but I vibe with it
I once heard someone smarter than me say that if all insects were to vanish the earth’s ecosystems would full collapse in 10 years.
Considering what insects do for our planet, I believe it.
Also insects are dying but so are other species
Fuck em
You do know that this world is basically populated primarily by insects right? They're arguably the most important type of animal on earth
It's a joke. Lighten up.
You're technically correct, but you missed the joke, which was kind of funny.
