Your attitude would quickly change if insects suddenly disappeared.
the world's ecosystem would collapse without them.

Seriously, people blow the whole insect necessity myth way out of proportion. Humans can pollinate. Low-tier mammals can eat things other than insects. We can breed animals and plants without them.

Humans can pollinate and grow plants ourselves. We can breed and consume animals ourselves. We've superseded the need for a food chain when everything can be done artificially anyway.

"but thats instinctual behavior patterns!" So is your repulsion of insects. There's a reason this elicits a different response than this.

Most plants would die, we would rely on genetically engineering to grow crops, CO2 levels would increase drastically, people in developing countries would be completely fucked over, and so forth. Even the disappearance of honeybees that is happening right now has severe implications for life on this planet.

Animals, wind currents, etc do a lot of the work there. And once a tree is already planted and growing, it doesn't need insects in any way.

Chain.Without proper preparation to accommodate the disappearance of it the food industry wouldn't respond fast enough (because you're essentially creating an industry in a week's time) to not have people starving to death.Sure inevitably things would stabilize, but that's not the point. The point is we couldn't sustain what we currently have without those things.
You're wrong. Many plants solely rely on insects for pollination as other species do not pollinate nearly as much to sustain the species.
