A very hard answer as it is far reaching to explain what exactly would happen. I will give you the general answer which should lead you to understand how big an event it would be.
Bugs in a pond dying would be the seed effect of what would grow massive natural events to shift course completely.
Bugs are born in such large numbers because 'nature' knows most will be eaten by bats, fish, reptiles, birds and more bird, frogs, the list goes on. So, no bugs, all these other species take a big hit, and their babies die off from starvation and many of the adults too causing most of these animals, etc., to become extinct in that area or if only in this one system, extinct from the planet.
So now all the little creatures are dead, and what eats those? What depends on all the bugs making all the froggs, lizards, birds, etc., good and fat and with lots of babies? The animals that eat them, leading all the way up to little old US...who if we depended on this pond, or worse a lake or ocean even, we would suffer horribly.
Great question. I think my answer explains as best as possible without getting into a lot of boring details and still gives a broad understanding of how important the smallest of creatures can be. I am not certain, but on something I recently read, bats themselves are responsible for up to or over 30% of all insect eating, just imagine if there were no bats and work your way backwards.
Either way you go, it means bad news for US and the BUGS and all in between. Balance has always been the key. Global balance. If you are interested in more details for a paper for school, you may want something like this up on an encyclopedia site of some kind or educational site, etc. If you are interested in Global Balance and preservation ideals, there are tons of sites you can Google, etc.
Hope I helped, good care.

But if only the algae died the animals and insects who eat it would starve and die. Then bigger animals would eat it, so on and so on until the whole pond died.

What is a frogs ecosystem?
Tree frogs need trees for shelter. They also need bugs to stay alive and water to drink. they also need air to breath.
Biotic and abiotic factors of pond ecosystem?
Lakes have both biotic and abiotic factors. Some biotic factors that can exist in a lake ecosystem are: I) Fish II) Frogs and Toads III) Cranes and Other Birds IV) Mussels and Crustaceans V) Various Aquatic Plants Some abiotic factors that can exist in a lake ecosystem are: I) Sunlight II) Water (H2O) III) Soil (unless it's a biotic factor that has been decomposed)
What is an example for biotic?
Do you mean: symbiotic relationships? If so, a symbiotic relationship is between two living creatures who help each other by helping themselves. For example, a rhinoceros and an oxpecker help each other. The oxpecker gains nutrients from picking the bugs off of the rhino and the rhino is cleaned.
Can bugs in grits make you sick?
It depends on what the bugs are, but bugs in grits probably can't make you sick.
How do you cure eye bugs?
how to cure eye bugs
What will happen without crickets?
The whole ecosystem would collapse around us slowly and you, my friend, would die along with the planet. Basically, take care of the bugs- they're important for your survival.
What would happen to the world if all bugs died?
Taking out the largest group of animals on earth from an ecosystem would most likely destroy it. Insects outnumber humans I believe 100 to 1 if not more.
Can somebody tell you what is meant by Biotic Abiotic components of a Pond Ecosystem?
the biotic components of a pond ecosystem includes the living things like fishes ,aquatic plants, birds like crane, small water bugs etc. and the abiotic components include the physical things like water,sand bed,stones etc.
What would happen if all spiders die?
you would have a lot more bugs!
What insects do pond skaters eat?
a toad will eat a pond skater
Why is it important to the ecosystem when bats eat bugs?
because
How is bats' eating bugs important to the ecosystem?
it is important because it makes the number of bugs dwindle
What are some xamples of carnivores in a pond?
Examples of carnivores in a pond include frog tadpoles, insect larvae such as dragonfly nymphs, water scorpions, and diving beetles. These organisms obtain their nutrition by preying on smaller animals or consuming other insects and small invertebrates in the pond ecosystem.
What are pond animals?
Frogs, Fish, bugs, Turtles, etc.
What would happen if all spiders were dead?
If all spiders were dead, well, the world would basically be taken over by bugs. Since the spiders aren't around to eat the bugs, we'd have to rely on frogs to catch all the bugs and eventually, we may end up having to eat bugs. I don't know for sure what would happen, but that is my opinion.
What insects live in a pond?
Water bugs,Mayflies,and Water Scorpions.
Can you have water lillies in the same pond as you keep your ducks?
Yes but the ducks eat all bugs. Well not all bugs.
