Insects have shaped ecosystems for over 400 million years, pollinating plants, feeding birds and fish, and breaking down waste, yet population counts across the world are falling sharply. The film brings in entomologists and ecologists who lay out the evidence: fewer insects hitting car windshields than a generation ago, sparse insect traps in nature reserves that once teemed with life, and studies from Germany and elsewhere tracking steep declines in flying insect biomass. Researchers walk through the likely causes, including pesticide use, monoculture farming, habitat loss, and climate change, and explain why an insect crash would ripple upward through birds, amphibians, and crops that depend on pollination. Footage moves between fields, labs, and nature reserves as scientists set traps and compare current counts to historical records. The tone is measured rather than alarmist, but the underlying question stays constant: what happens to the rest of the food web if the smallest and least noticed animals keep disappearing.
