The entire living world will collapse without insects...... yet we continue to poison them.
"95% of our passerine bird species require a diet of 95% insects for their nestlings..."
from Doug Tallamy's "Bringing Nature Home"
"If all humans were removed from Earth now, the Biosphere would regenerate to the rich state of equilibrium that existed 10,000 years ago. But if all insects were to disappear, the Biosphere would collapse into chaos. ...."
from the late Harvard Professor E.O Wilson, considered to be America's greatest ecologist.
It follows that most passerine species coordinate their nesting with the abundance of insect hatchings. In this latitude (47th north) in aquatic systems, this happens in June. It's not until June that the aquatic insect nymphs begin emerging from the water, crawl up the stems of aquatic stems and transform into adult. This is when the Eastern Kingbird parent begins running out among the Pickerelweeds searching for new adult Odonata.
