Abstract
It is undeniable that we are now in the sixth great extinction. Traditionally, concern has been focused on birds, mammals, and other charismatic taxa. However, in recent years, entomologists have noted that insects too are declining. Because insects are critical to almost all key terrestrial ecosystem processes, this has sparked major concern. The first signs of a problem were honeybee colony deaths in the mid-2000s and declines of the iconic monarch butterfly, but now there is acknowledgment of widespread reductions in insect abundance.
