THE BUGS
Bees, ants, spiders, flies—all of the bugs—monitor two things: the health of planet Earth, and the planet’s most influential inhabitants, the humans. Should humanity show signs of irreversibly killing Earth, the bugs will exterminate everyone. They’ll then start the human experiment over with a fresh batch of people, thanks to the DNA collected by mosquitoes.
