Wow one of the first life forms to live on land,{INSECTS}about 480 million years ago, second to plants,one billion years ago
ie { multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotes lived in freshwater communities on land as early as 1 billion years ago},
may soon become extinct,causing the extinction of other land based life forms including humans.But I am guessing there would be a few insects left alive and would re emerge in numbers after humans become extinct.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The only reason insects cause problems is due to the fact that humans have created an artificial environment for them to thrive in .Once humans are gone the ecological balance will return to normal and the earth will be a better place for all living creatures and all plant life

@KissedbySun Do not put words in my mouth .I am aware of the five mass extinctions .I never said humans were the only thing to tip the balance .I agree with evolutionary biologist Stephen Stearns that humans have evolved unnaturally due to the changes we have made to the world in that we actually may be driving our evolution.We see rapid environmental change and the biggest part of our environment is culture and culture is exploding.
@richiegtt I agree with you .Also that know it all that put words In your mouth is typical of people that have to use assumptions because they have to create a scenario to argue against which is definitely pathetic.
@KissedbySun You must be a halfwit if you think humans are a natural part of the ecological balance .Read the human Zoo by Desmond Morris and you may learn a thing or two
@KissedbySun To say that humans are a natural part of the ecological balance is incorrect.No other species creates artificial substances such as plastic, alters genetics with genetic modification etc, ,or causes pollution
All depends on how they all interact. I've read, good news for cockroach haters, that when humans die out they are going to quickly follow as they have attached themselves so tightly to our lives.

@KissedbySun true. Just the big populations of German and Asian variety.
