300 Million Years Ago, Insects Ruled Earth as Gods

300 Million Years Ago, Insects Ruled Earth as Gods If you shrunk the entire history of life on Earth into a single year, then the period when insects were absolutely massive nightmare fuel that dominated the skies lasted about 3 weeks. Which doesn't sound like much until you realize that in real time, that's roughly 60 million years of giant bugs being in charge. And I'm not talking about bugs that are just kinda big like a tarantula or something, I'm talking about dragonflies with wingspans wider than a hawk, millipedes longer than an alligator, and scorpions the size of golden retrievers. Basically, if you got sent back to the Carboniferous period around 300 million years ago, you'd think you accidentally stepped into a Monster Hunter game but like, the worst version where everything wants to eat you and also you can't respawn. And the craziest part? These weren't even considered apex predators of their time. They were just... around. Living their best lives. Being absolutely massive. So the question is: how did insects get so absurdly big, and more importantly, why aren't they that big anymore? Well, buckle up because the answer is weirder than you think.
