Death by 1,000 cuts: Are major insect losses imperiling life on Earth?

It doesn't want to copy/paste well, and there's many good reference links in the article. 

Synopsis, insects overall are losing 1-2% population density per year on average, and might start a cascade as pretty much everything in the food web has insects impacting it somewhere.

I sit in my cubicle, here on the motherworld. When I die, they will put me in a box and dispose of it in the cold ground. And in all the million ages to come, I will never breathe, or laugh, or twitch again. So won't you run and play with me here among the teeming mass of humanity? The universe has spared us this moment.
