Polinizan cultivos, reciclan materia orgánica y alimentan a aves, peces y otros animales, así que su caída afecta la comida que llega a las mesas argentinas. Si la mosca o la abeja de tu campo desaparece, el costo lo pagan el productor, el supermercado y el que compra la fruta. Lo que parece un bicho insignificante es parte de la maquinaria que hace andar todo lo demás.","quienFirma":"Nottingham Trent University","confianza":"divulgacion","consulta":{"pregunta":"¿Te preocupa la caída de insectos?"}},"sello":{"hash":"3c3107fe1449a9a6aed05ad0eab4ed417a92eaff426e38f4b7c1cc6234b1112d","sello":"66b9a8c52f054682d166b4cea36f84004e99ef178b5a40f8d2640b81e4ed3cfa","beacon":{"drand":{"cadena":"8990e7a9aaed2ffed73dbd7092123d6f289930540d7651336225dc172e51b2ce","ronda":6572129,"aleatorio":"00bc6adddd16bd7e2abc02ed117ec1efaf01043823a4ca77bd15bc69f7e28fe6","tiempo":"2026-10-21T15:01:30.000Z"},"nist":{"cadena":2,"pulso":1993270,"salida":"6252121EC60554FD2E0FAB71C8FEAE5F702A21AED64C1B06B89B43C4528E5F5B90DAF57BD54ADEA377F939EEF9A335FE0F00E566E10A24A53D0C54EAD6173BC0","tiempo":"2026-10-21T15:01:00.000Z"},"noAntes":"2026-10-21T15:01:30.000Z"},"verificacion":{"drand":true,"nist":true},"tsa":{"time":"Oct 21 15:02:10 2026 GMT","provider":"freetsa.org","sobre":"sello"},"original":{"titulo":"How many insects are there—and why do we need them?","descripcion":"There are an estimated 10 quintillion insects alive on Earth at any given time.
