Bugs have certain importance in our environment. They are very important as primary or secondary decomposers. Without insects to help break down and dispose of wastes, dead animals and plants would accumulate in our environment and it would be messy indeed.

Moreover, insects are the only food that sustains certain species of birds, fish and amphibians. Without insect life, the food chain would be severely compromised, since many higher-order animals and birds rely upon lower ones for food. If the insects were to be destroyed, many species would also be wiped out.
