I wonder how living 30+ floors up affects the biodiversity of insects.

Survey findings revealed that as floor numbers increase, fewer types of insects thrive

30 floors is pretty damn high. I doubt there would be much up there except maybe cockroaches. Do you live in a building that tall? I couldn't even imagine would that would be like.

I live on the 37th floor, so yeah. Apartments in Hong Kong can get a little tall. There are laws requiring the buildings to be shorter than the surrounding mountains
