“But THP, more than 1 million people die annually from malaria and other mosquito diseases.”
More than 9 million people die every year from starvation. How does starvation happen? No food from farms. What’s eating the food? Insect pests. Those pests are mostly caterpillars, and those turn into butterflies and make even MORE caterpillars.
For comparison, spiders only kill around 3 people a year. And they kill a ton of butterflies.
