 Claims of pending mass insect extinctions or "insect apocalypse" based on a subset of studies have been popularized in news reports, but often make claims extrapolated beyond the study data or hyperbolize study findings.The Entomological Society of America has stated there are not sufficient data to predict an imminent mass extinction of insects.For some insect groups such as some butterflies, bees, and beetles, declines in abundance and diversity have been documented in European studies.
