Kia Ora,

All jokes aside [if that's at all possible

]...Where would we be without our friends the insects ?
Sadly Americans spend "Billions" of dollars each years on pesticides, and the weirdest thing is the only insects whose numbers seem to dwindle are the "beneficial" ones, the pest type just build immunity to whatever we "intelligent " humans bombard them with...
Entomologists believe two percent of any insect population have a natural immunity to [so it would seem ] any newly developed insecticide designed to target the given insect pest population...Take the humble Germany cockroach
Blattella germanica for example...

Which reminds me, the humble roach reached its peek in evolution over 300 million years ago, that is the cockroach that we see today looks the same has it did 300 million years ago,,,

Insects are our friends people! We could learn a awful lot from them...
