I'm pretty sure 80% of the insect biomass is in jungles

Would mean somehow those pesticides got into the deepest parts of the
Amazon. Such a die-out would trigger an insane chain reaction in the food chain.
I agree there's probably a rather dire reduction in insects in the west, a windshield test would attest to that.

About 20% of the Amazon forest as of 1970 as been cut down in 2024.

It has such high biodiversity that clearing a few football fields can knock-off a species out of existence.

Still the idea that 75% of bug biomass vanished recently is retarded.

There has been a huge chain reaction in the food chain, especially with birds (nature's natural pestocide). And the figures shouldn't phase us, by now we all know that statistics are used to convey a message moreso than organize information. The point is there has been a huge reduction in insects and we all have noticed it.

As for the jungles, pesticides and other airborne poisons do indeed get into them. The Gates foundation has bragged about spraying the Amazon with chemicals. Not to mention deforestation... 1/2 to 3/4 figure worldwide sounds believable to me.

But the number isnt the point. The message is that insects are dying out rapidly; there is no need to nitpick the statistics.
