Article seems very US-centric. The link behind "ongoing debate" only poses questions about the extent of loss in NA. For Europe and for example, in Germany, the extreme pace of biomass reduction seems to be scientific consensus. Quote from Wikipedia (sources linked there, but there are plenty in German): > In 2013 the Krefeld Entomological Society reported a "huge reduction in the biomass of insects"[4] caught in malaise traps in 63 nature reserves in Germany (57 in Nordrhein-Westfalen, one in Rheinland-Pfalz and one in Brandenburg).[50][51] A reanalysis published in 2017 suggested that, in 1989–2016, there had been a "seasonal decline of 76%, and mid-summer decline of 82%, in flying insect biomass over the 27 years of study" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_population... Now that I've commented on the article contents: that title led me very much astray in an HN context, until I saw the domain name. Would prefer for the other type of bugs to disappear unintendedly from human activity.
