Where did all the bugs go?
![image.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/nooses/Lc8ssefD-image.png)

Younger people may not know, but anyone of age remembers very well that until just over 20 years ago any car trip meant a windshield and grill covered in insects crushed by impact. Today this doesn't happen the same way anymore.

It may seem great to travel with a clean windshield. But doesn't that tell you anything? Where did the bugs go?

Scientists associate the dramatic decline of insect populations with agribusiness, due to pesticide application, especially RoundUp.

The decline of insects, in addition to being a tragedy by itself, affects all earthly ecosystems, such as the diet of birds, reptiles and amphibians, and plant pollination, etc. 

The collapse of insect populations may be the harbinger of natural and agricultural ecosystem collapse.
