Water drops coat a dragonfly as it hangs from tall grass in a pasture along the Umpqua River near Elkton in rural southwestern Oregon on July 14, 2024. A dragonfly is a flying insect belonging to the infraorder Anisoptera below the order Odonata. About 3,000 extant species of dragonflies are known. Most are tropical, with fewer species in temperate regions. Loss of wetland habitat threatens dragonfly populations around the world. Their scientific name is Anisoptera. Dragonfly lifespan is only 7 to 56 days. (Photo by Robin Loznak/ZUMA Press Wire/Rex Features/Shutterstock)

A bumblebee flies between poppy flowers near the buildings of the banking district in Frankfurt, Germany, Friday, May 24, 2024. The Nature And Biodiversity Conservation Union, or NABU, invited people to spend an hour counting the insects they see in a 10-meter radius (33-foot) radius and report what they see to NABU. The Citizen-Science-Projekts named “insect summer” is set from May 31 to June 9 and Aug. 2 to Aug. 11, 2024. (Photo by Michael Probst/AP Photo)

A bumblebee sucks nectar from wildflowers growing on a strip of land designated as a biodiversity haven of the Havelland Hof Ribbeck farm on June 20, 2024 near Ribbeck, Germany. The farm, which combines dairy production, grains and biofuel energy, is part of the F.R.A.N.Z. program, a nationwide government sponsored initiative that seeks to promote biodiversity in agriculture. Farmer Peter Kaim claims that through relatively simple techniques he has been able to foster sustainable ecosystems among his fields that support a wide variety of animal life, including mice, birds, butterflies and other insects. Biodiversity across Europe has been severely and negatively impacted by agriculture over the last few centuries. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

A pair of Entiminae (broad-nosed weevils) is mating on a wooden window frame in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on August 12, 2024. Weevils are beetles belonging to the superfamily Curculionoidea, known for their elongated snouts. They are typically small, usually less than 6 mm in length, and herbivorous. This group also includes bark beetles, which, although morphologically different from other weevils due to their lack of the distinctive snout, are a subfamily of Curculionidae. Many weevils are considered pests because of their ability to damage and kill crops. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)





A dark small-branded swift butterfly extracted nectar from the colorful wildflower Lantana (Lantana camara) at Tehatta, West Bengal, India on May 15, 2023. The dark small-branded swift (Pelopidas mathias) or small-branded swift or lesser millet skipper or black-branded swift, is a butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae. It is found throughout much of south, southeast, and East Asia, and as far as the Philippines. It is also present in tropical Africa and Arabia. This butterfly is considered a pest to rice-growing cultures; newly hatched caterpillars are especially voracious in eating young seedlings. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
