Love Nature’s new four-part series Bugs That Rule the World explores the unseen and rapidly changing lives of insects, and how these tiny creatures, which make up over 90 per cent of all living species, play a critical role in sustaining life on Earth. From pollinators like moths, bees and butterflies that bring colour to our fields and food to our plates, to nature’s clean-up crews that work the land and purify the soil, insects have quietly run the planet since before the age of dinosaurs. But now, new investigations reveal that even in Earth’s most remote corners, insect populations are in sharp decline. As warnings of a worldwide “apocalypse” grow louder, the series uncovers the essential roles bugs play in our ecology and the bleak picture of a future without them.
