Please please do not forget the cicadas. Remember, we are all doomed. There was an article in the Washington Post this Sunday.

Some insects are endowed with elaborate defense mechanisms -- such as moths, whose bodies course with toxins -- that ensure they are left pretty well alone. Not periodical cicadas. There are simply too many of them to be wiped out by predators. Their sheer volume is a survival tactic scientists call "predatory satiation."

Here's the rest of the article (although you may have to register to read it, if you care that much)
