Not many realize this, but sticking with the non-bee pollination theme you have things like beetles, butterflies, moths, some species of flies, ants, wasps… the list goes on.

Non-inscect options include some speciea of bats and birds.

That’s not even getting into the tons of other useful things insects do.

I once heard someone smarter than me say that if all insects were to vanish the earth’s ecosystems would full collapse in 10 years.

Considering what insects do for our planet, I believe it.

I always said that if I wasn’t a human, I would be a rhinoceros beetle (kabutomushi).

Apparently I may have been right!
