TBH, what would be the problem to us if all these vague, never seen creatures all suddenly disappeared?
Can't work out if this is a serious question or not?
But, it would have serious consequences for mankind if this happened

was it eistein who was wrongly quoted as "if the bees disapear then humans have three years"
Most people think these little monsters are just a pain but every insect has its useful place. The only one that is not beneficial to the planet is Man and boy does he know it now!
A huge amount of plants we eat are pollinated by wild honey bees. I don't think insects are "cute" or anything else, just very useful.
Still get plenty of little critters (and big ones) in Cumbria!

Particular variants of species may have uses, but are not so inter-related that if one dies off, then the whole planet grinds to a halt.
There are many obscure creatures that we never see and have no practical benefit to the world, but as soon as we here "extinction" then it becomes a necessity for some charity or other to help them survive.

i have to say that as i spend alll my time working outside, ive not noticed any decline this year. in fact ive noticed a lot of sparrows, which were lacking in numbers a few years ago, so something must be changing.
Oh and sodding shedloads of bloody caterpillars on my cabbages!
