It is generally accepted that we are now at the beginning of a sixth mass extinction. It's caused by humans, and it might be the first that affects the six-legged arthropods among us. Noted Bug Zaddy Kyle Hill explains what’s happening to the insects, and what will happen to us if we let them disappear forever.
