I'd be fine if it was just biting mosquitoes that disappeared.

German has a word for it: Insektensterben
Image is accurate, since without bugs, the food chain collapses and takes society with it, and the survivors will have to migrate to rural areas that can support a hunter-gatherer lifrstyle.
Eh, grass would be fine, and cows eat grass.
The snails would get out of hand probably tho
If pollinators weren't necessary, human food wouldn't be affected too much. But given we eat plants (and the animals we eat eat plants) hunter-gathering would have the same problem as just continuing farming. Can't gather if there are no plants, can't hunt if the prey starved to death.
Yes, happily unemployed 😊
I already do this on occasion, there is usually just several inches of snow on the ground when I do.
I slept outside once as a kid and ended up with massive mosquito bites all over my body.
I itch just looking at these.
Yeah, sadly gras is still plenty itchy
