the only prehistoric insect "fossils" we have found were ALL inside treesap
this is because insect skeletons don't leave around fossils
we know insects used to be bigger, but how much bigger? how can we know without proper fossils? maybe only the small ones got caught in treesap?
we also know insects existed before the dinosaurs
maybe by the time dinosaurs came along, the insects were already shrinking?
maybe the shrinking of the insects is the reason for the rise of the dinosaurs?
maybe insects were actually elephant sized and dominated the planet for millions of years?
maybe that's why 99% of humans absolutely HATE insects?
our hate for insects is not like our fear of predators, a grown ass man that can lift a truck can be absolutely terrified of a little itty bitty spider
our hate for insects is not rational, and it is found DEEP inside every human
"they are poisonous" isn't enough of an excuse to explain that, besides if you die from something poisonous you don't live to tell about it
humans must have waged war on insects for generations if we want to explain our deep hatred and fear of insects
if you look at human population charts it definitely looks like a predator of us disappeared and then our population numbers exploded
