Reports in the journal '''Biological Conservation''' in 2020 indicated that pervasive artificial light at night was an important component to the worldwide decline of insect populations. This had serious consequences to humanity.

	Artificial light at night disrupted the reproduction, feeding, and movement of insects. Drawn to the light, insects often died because predators found ~~the~~ easier to find. Affected insects included everything from moths to wasps including such local species as [[FISHFLIES]] and fireflies. Such familiar items as bug zappers end up killing more predators of [[MOSQUITOES]] than the insects themselves. At current rates of decline, the world could see the extinction of nearly 40% of all insect species within a few decades--disrupting food chains and webs linked to human beings.
