What animal or insect going extinct would have the greatest impact on the ecosystem? (lemmy.ml)

Curious on some replies here. I always hear having bees go extinct would be horrible for us. Curious if that’s the worse?

Ever wondered what happened to all these bugs on the car when driving through the countryside? There is already something big happening and we are just getting started.

Here is a talk on the topic of insects driven to the point of extinction due to neonicotinoid pesticides (unfortunately the talk is in german. Maybe someone is able to find a english version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_p9yYXZuCI
