Dragonflies and butterflies, some of the most attractive organisms in the insect world, because of their vibrant colours. Deforestation, urbanization, climate change all lead to the loss of these creatures. Over the past four decades, more than 450 butterfly species have declined at an average rate of nearly 2 percent a year. Scientists estimate that the species' population has dropped between 20% and 90% over the last several decades. A global assessment of more than 6,000 dragonfly and damselfly species shows that 16% are at risk of extinction Needless to mention, humans who catch butterflies and dragonflies for fun also contribute to the decline of these species. Life is hard for them.
