Just A Question: Natural Enviroment

[Raiden Akimoto]

What will happened when bug or insect doesn't exist in the world? I kinda always asking myself about this, tell me what you think.

[Tanya Smith]

Nothing would happen.

They will exist allways, otherwise it's against the nature itself.

[Max Woods]

Well, for example, an bee, if it disapppears, no honey anymore ;3

[Raiden Akimoto]

How about mosquito and fly? What happened when they doesn't exits?

[Tanya Smith]

How about mosquito and fly? What happened when they doesn't exits?

Then the ones that eat mosquitos and flies would die too. That grows into more and more trouble. Believe me, everyone has their own place and reason to be on this planet.

[Nico]

If the bees would disappear the whole ecosystem of the Earth would be fucked up.

[Sam Akabara]

I can tell you all got an F in science.
Twice.

[Matt Mercer]

Well then the entire food chain is fucked up and we all die. so bee's as horrible and vicious and mean as they are. have a part and a role in this world. mosquitos as well... they are food for spiders. which are food for frogs which are food for french people, which are food for nukes
there you go modern science in a nut shell.

[Peter Greenson]

Mosquito's are not needed. I think that they have already bio-engineered a sterile version that is beginning to kill them all off.

[Terry Winston]

Yer they are rather amusing that they are making them kill them selves of really, as far as i know alot of speciese could die and the eco system would be fine as other would replace them nature is a funny thing it will always fight for its own survial even if you try and destroy it plants and animal would evolve.

[Raiden Akimoto]

There's must be a reason why insect and bugs are created in this planet. Bee have it's benefits, mosquito and flies.... I don't know why they're created. Oh! How about cockroaches? Why are they exist? It's kinda useless having them in this world, there's must be a natural reason... Any idea?

[Alex Montgomery]

Cockroaches can survive an atomic warhead.

[Tanya Smith]

Cockroaches can survive an atomic warhead.

Rats can do that too.

[ArielV]

Cockroaches can survive an atomic warhead.

Rats can do that too.

So can the lone wanderer.

[Matt Mercer]

Yeah well...so can narwhales >.>

[Aaron_Lee]

Everything. Has an advantage. [Or most things >.>]

The Earth won't be the same without every single specie there is. Even the smallest single celled ones, that we can't even see has it's place.

Anyway, Insects are important. Why do they reproduce so fast? because they are the ones mostly at the bottom of the food chain. The Earth needs much of them.

Humans like us probably dont eat insects right? But, some of them are the food of the food we eat.
Actually insects are edible [certain species]
e.a: EarthWorm.

Everything is needed.

[Raiden Akimoto]

Insect are needed for the earth, but not needed for humans that hates dangerous, parasite and dirty insect which will harm them from the skin or any places on the human part.

[Jamie Steel]

Cockroaches can survive an atomic warhead.

That's a common misconception, although they do have a high rad resistance comparable to humans, they can't actually absorb that much radiation before they die compared to other insects, for example the common fruit fly is more rad resistant.

Also, every insect plays a role: People say mosquitos aren't needed, this isn't true. Mosquitos drink blood, this blood is a large dose of protein, birds eat the mosquito and in turn consume a large dosage of protein, giving them vital nutrition.

Everything is eaten by something else, one thing goes, then the ecosystem is destroyed in some way or it adapts.

[Raiden Akimoto]

I got the fact now, anyone still want to continue or close this topic?

[Simon Bourne]

By the time bugs are extint, the scientist will be able to clone them.

[Peter Greenson]

So yeah, What about natural extinction? Or human induced extinction?
These two kill off lots of species and the eco-system has not collapsed. There is a threshold but it is not what Raiden asked.
