During the summer, the arctic is buzzing with insects who play a major part in keeping the variety of plants alive. The pollinators of these plants in the arctic are small flies. These small flies are very similar to the flies humans hate most. These flies are disappearing at a fast rate. Climate change is causing the flies to slowly die off and the flowers they pollinate to die off as well. The flies play a major part in the ecosystem and without them the whole ecosystem will be thrown off. Flies are one of the things that bother me the most and i cant help but try and kill them. Where I live killing flies is what everyone does when the insect buzzes in their ear, so the fact that the species are in danger in the Arctic is a new concept to me. The flies not being there is dangerous to the plants and potentiallt to humans because with no plants no oxygen is produced.
