What is the most important living creature on Earth?

[Daniela1982]

It's not man. Without these hard workers we would all starve to death.

[patois]

We wouldn't starve to death if honey bees died off. Humans eat meat. Most cereal crops are wind pollinated. The same go for potatoes and other members of the nightshade family like tomatoes, peppers, egg plants, etc. The bulk of human calories are safe. Tree fruits and nuts make the human diet more interesting, but they don't supply our sustenance. That said, not all pollination is conducted by honey bees. There are many solitary beans like the green sweat bee, leaf-cutter bee, and the orchard mason bee that do the heavy lifting as well as other pollinators like wasps, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, hummingbirds, and bats. We don't want to lose honey bees, but they aren't the be all end all...

[strateguy632]

bees? first i don't survive on honey! nor could i... but you mean pollination.

guess what? bees appeared , according to "science" that you probably believe, "Bees evolved from ancient carnivorous wasps, 120 million years ago. their wasp ancestors stung and paralyzed other insects" so without bees plants managed fine.

[Daniela1982]

So who was around 120 million years ago that can tell us this for a fact?

[elaphe]

A theory about their evolution can be made from fossil evidence and molecular genetics.

Termites emit more C02 into the air than human technology. Merrick Garland needs to prosecute them.

But in answer to your question, poodles are the best people on Earth.

Everything but humans. We certainly endanger them all and they wouldn't miss us.

[Apple1996]

Bees are not appreciated enough

[lightbulb27]

I've been planting wildflowers in my yard and spreading the seeds. I see lots of bees. Bees our our friends.. they are amazing.

Their bee spittle goes nicely in a cup of tea too!

[Kaneki05]

If your classing Bactira then that of course. If talking just insects then it's flies or spiders. Which both go hand in hand. As spiders are naturally there to make sure flies don't overtake everything, while flies solve everything.

It's for sure not a bee. The whole idea if bees died off we would all be screwed is ridiculous. Flies among many other creature also help pollinate.

[Lliam]

When I saw this question, before I even clicked on it and saw what you said, my answer was going to be bees.

[Ashley1993]

We are the most important living creature for us. we're selfish just every other animal

Cute pic though

[Surely]

Every other living creature can live without man. Probably even better. Without human interference. But man or woman need or live better, with the help of all of the other things combined!

[Dongie]

Sorry friend, it's man. The bees are here to help sustain life for mankind. The whole reason for this world is so God could have people to hang out with. But somebody messed that up; for a while.

[PositiveNote]

I get the bee answer, it's true. However, we cannot live without our pets!!

[Daniela1982]

Then you need some pet bees.

[TonyMetal___86]

Let's see how your life will become without men!

It's an important creature because if these bees stings you and there's no medications or hospitals, you will be sent to your grave immediatly, hell yeah! The most important creatures 🤣🤣

[AviatorTom]

There is no ONE most important creature. Mother Nature has a balance, and without that balance, all creatures suffer.

[Likes2drive]

I would think trees are because they give oxygen from carbon dioxide

[Juxtapose]

Algae actually gives more.

[Daniela1982]

But what is going to pollinate your crops?

[Likes2drive]

@Juxtapose yes it does but trees are good for shade also

[Ms_Facesitter]

Depends on who it's supposed to be important to. To us, it'll be us.

[Basement-Bum]

Strawberry plants. Without them, specifically their fruit, life wouldn't be worth living.

[NathanDavis]

gut bacteria...

[SotiCoto]

Cats, obviously.

[Jennz6]

Literally, every creature on earth.
