The climate crisis is set to profoundly alter the world around us.

Humans will not be the only species to suffer from the calamity.

Huge waves of diaphs will be triggered across the animal kingdom,

as coral reefs turn ghostly white and tropical rainforests collapse.

For a period, some researchers suspected that insects may be less affected

or at least more than a year.

The climate crisis is set to profoundly alter the world around us.

Humans will not be the only species to suffer from the calamity.

Huge waves of diaphs will be triggered across the animal kingdom,

as well as less affected, or at least more adaptable than mammals, birds and other groups of creatures.

With their large elastic populations and their defiance of previous mass extinction events,

surely insects will do better than most in the teeth of the climate emergency?

Sadly not.

At 3.2 Celsius of warming, which many scientists still fear the world will get close to by the end of this century,

although a flurry of promises at COP26 have brought the expected temperature increase down to 2.4 Celsius.

Half of all insect species will lose more than half of their current habitable range.

This is about double the proportion of vertebrates and higher even than for plants,

which lack wings or legs to quickly relocate themselves.

This huge contraction in livable space is being heaped onto the existing woes faced by insects from habitat loss

and pesticide use.

The insects that are still hanging in there are going to get hit by climate change as well,
