**Insects are disappearing at an alarming rate worldwide 🦋🌍. Insect populations had declined by 75% in less than three decades 📉. The most cited driver for insect decline was agricultural intensification 🚜, via issues like land-use change and insecticides, with 500+ other interconnected drivers 🔗.**

Insecticides protect crops against pests, but pose a risk for insects. 🐞 Exposure to a common neonicotinoid, even at sublethal levels, reduced successful mating in bumble bees. 🐝 It also negatively impacted sperm in males and lipid storage in females. Pollinators such as bees are facing global declines. 🌍

Climate and land-use change are major drivers of insect decline, yet their interactive
effects on insect richness and abundance, especially across trophic levels, remain
poorly understood. Here, we investigate how temperature and land use shape insect
