Consider the slow creeping horror of a spring with no insects. The uncanny unspecified silence of the night. The emptiness and around you the whole ecosystem would be failing from the bottom up... without making a single sound.
You might make it to fall, maybe through the first winter but beyond that? When the soil fails? When most of the birds and river fish are gone?
It would be the end, but how many would notice it had begun?

So this is why I rejoice when I see the ants again. When the bees return, and even maybe the mosquitos (some of them) and the shy beetles, and the gnats to tiny too name.

If the insects were gone I would assume it was The Rapture.

@futurebird Do the insects ascend first? Who polinates the flowers in the afterlife?

I'd think only the insects might be worthy.
