Even small amounts of pesticides harm insects - a Science study analysed effects of >1000 chemicals used in plant protection. See what Prof. Christoph Scherber, Head of our Centre for Biodiversity Monitoring thinks about it:

Pervasive sublethal effects of agrochemicals on insects at environmentally relevant concentrations
Insect biomass is declining globally, likely driven by climate change and pesticide use, yet systematic studies on the effects of various chemicals remain limited. In this work, we used a chemical lib...
