Final answer:
Drinking water availability does not contribute to the estimated $59 billion that insects contribute to the US economy through services like pollination and pest control.
Step-by-step explanation:
Insects play a vital role in the US economy by providing ecosystem services such as plant pollination, crop pest control, and the improvement of soil quality. While services like pollination by honeybees contribute an estimated $1.6 billion annually, and additional pollinators bringing up to $6.7 billion, other insects, such as dung beetles, save the cattle industry $380 million by burying livestock feces. One ecosystem service that does not add to this economic value in insect-related services is the provision of drinking water, which, although crucial for life, is not a service provided by insects.
