Researchers say the world has lost more than one fourth of its land-based insects over the past 30 years. The researchers noted the loss of such bugs suggests a more complex problem than earlier research has shown. Ants, bees, butterflies and other land-based bugs have been suffering population drops of about nine percent every 10 years or so. But freshwater insects, such as dragonflies and mosquitoes, have been growing in number over the years. The researchers found that different areas have experienced different rates of insect decline. Overall, bugs are disappearing at a rate of just under one percent a year, with the strongest declines reported in the United States and Germany. Ongoing decline on land at this rate will be extremely damaging for ecological systems and for humans. The researchers also studied insects that spend at least part of their lives in freshwater. These bugs were found to have experienced a population increase of about 11 percent every 10 years. Freshwater covers only about 2.5 percent of the Earth's surface, so the majority of insects live on land. The number of insects on average has declined in the air, in the grass and soil, but not in trees or underground, the researchers found. Some estimates show that land-based insects would face a population drop of 24 percent over the next 30 years. Freshwater bugs would experience a 38 percent increase over the same period. The researchers said clean-water policies established in recent years were responsible for the increase in freshwater bugs.
