Answer 1

If there are only a few remaining members of an insect species living in one area, the most likely cause for this species to become extinct would be the introduction of new predators to the insects.

In the magazine Science they claim the massive extinction of species and it is due to the actions of the human being. One of the first reasons for the extinction of certain insects is the loss of habitat. The human being is transforming its habitat, forests and grasslands, gaining ground for cultivation, roads or housing. In this way migrations take place or species that are not from the specific area are introduced, causing the disappearance of previous ones.
