As summer approaches, insects become more active, with climate change causing some pests like mosquitoes and ticks to thrive in new regions. While some insect species face extinction, others are adapting, emerging at different times and expanding their habitats. This can exacerbate public health challenges, as diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks may spread into areas where they were previously rare. Although the overall bug count might decrease, significant changes in behavior and distribution pose risks to ecosystems, agriculture, and health.
"Some insects are adapting to changing climates by moving to regions that might have previously been unsuitable. They're not just expanding their ranges, but they're becoming more abundant in places where maybe they weren't as abundant before."
"The likelihood of certain diseases being transmitted in places where those diseases weren't really a problem before are increasing, and we are expecting those problems to actually become worse as temperatures continue to increase."
