For me, the giant centipede would be the most freaky thing to encounter. The thought of one being 8ft long, and weighing the same as a small person! And with 30 pairs of legs. Ugh! 😑

[@oldrabidus2230]

16:30 it’s a praying mantis, not a beatle.

[@randallbesch2424]

about double the oxygen supply and you have it. We would need an adjustment period to survive without oxygen toxicity. We would live better and shorter lives. Lower disease rates and higher levels of physicality. After the Carboniferous ice age a few forests survived into the early Permian a few pockets remained till the Middle Permian.

[@I_will_find_you_soon]

I stopped watching at 2:49-2:52 because that is misinformation. Insects breathe through a network of air filled tubes that deliver oxygen directly to the cells. These tracheal tubes, especially in the leg, take up more room in larger beetles. More than 300 million years ago, there was 31 to 35 percent oxygen in the air. That means that the respiratory systems of the insects could be smaller and still deliver enough oxygen to meet their demands, allowing the creatures to grow much larger. There are reasons for their disappearances and diet is not it. There are two main reasons as to why they have disappeared. The most important is that our atmosphere has changed. Millions of years ago, the air surrounding our planet was warmer, moister and contained more oxygen. During the Carboniferous and Permian periods, Earth’s air contained 31-35% oxygen, as compared to just 21% oxygen in the air today. Oxygen levels are especially important for insects because they don’t have lungs. Instead, they rely on air flowing through a series of openings across their bodies called spiracles, which connect via tiny tubes to the tissues that need oxygen. The second is the dinosaurs helped clean out the giant insects As ancient dinosaurs evolved the ability to fly, eventually becoming modern birds, they put a cap on insect size through predation and competition. The earliest known bird - Archaeopteryx - appeared about 150 million years ago. Birds proved to be faster and more agile than the giant insects. The change in insect size is gradual. This gradual change fits quite nicely with the gradual evolution in birds at the time. Bottom line: Hundreds of millions of years ago, giant insects were common on Earth. The decline in atmospheric oxygen and the rise of birds contributed to their demise. Get your video right next time or I will unsubscribe
