Because no person can conclusively observe statistical effects, of this kind, in this way.
It's really hard to conclude "the insect population is dropping" by being one person in one environment once. Even by being multiple people, even over time.
That's why science exists. And it's really difficult (eg., cf., the replication crisis).
