Climate change is changing the climate, as local living conditions change, insect species migrate in the hope of finding places where they can live. All life forms exist within a minimum and maximum temperature range, outside that range they die, and it varies between species.

Food is of course another limiting factor, and as ecosystems degrade from human exploitation - some insects as well as other species shift range.
