Here is a statement which supports your contention.

> the abundance of American bees, bumblebees, moths, hoverflies and other wild insects has fallen dramatically, according to the national census of the insects.

Typically, there is no way to verify the statement as no link to "the national census of the insects" is provided. I can't find any such census, though no doubt it would be enlightening.
