Congress is back in session and House Republicans are trying to pass a number of devastating, anti-environmental bills.

These bills would further open our public lands to drilling and give massive handouts to billionaires.

From pollination and decomposition to predation and serving as the foundation of countless food webs, the contributions of insects and spiders to the world are unmatched.

Simply put, entire ecosystems would collapse without bugs."
