How do insects help to clean up rubbish?

Insects play a crucial role in cleaning up rubbish by breaking down organic waste and recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. Species like beetles and ants consume decaying plant and animal matter, while decomposers such as certain flies and larvae aid in the decomposition process. This natural clean-up helps reduce waste accumulation and promotes soil health, contributing to a balanced environment. Their activities also support the food chain by providing resources for other wildlife.
