The prehistoric insects that make you

Many people are frightened to see centipedes, lice . But when the fear they bring is nothing compared to the scary prehistoric insects of the following.

Shrimp-sea squid

This is a centipede species , living in the sea 500 million years ago. It looks quite like shrimp and squid. This species can be up to 1m long, and has a mouth full of sharp, sharp teeth. Their food is small crustaceans.

Giant louse

With a length of 60cm, the giant "louse" is considered the largest three-lobed animal known at this time. They lived in the Paleozoic era, 500 million years ago. They are quite similar to a horseshoe crab, with a hard shell, thick with multiple parts and complex eyes. This species and some other three-lobed species have excellent adaptability. It survived another 300 million years before extinction.

Giant dragonflies

The dragonfly now seems to be a harmless species, but their giant ancestors are not.M.permiana is the largest ancient insect that ever existed: wings with a length of 60cm, a body length of 40cm. With this size, many scientists believe that their food must be frogs and squirrels. This species extinct a few million years ago, when the atmosphere was not as oxygen-rich as before.

Giant slug

The largest snail is the African soil slug , with a body length of 18cm, diameter of the shell is 9cm. But this size is nothing compared to the C.gigantem prehistoric slug, one of the largest slugs ever existed. Their bodies are up to 60cm long. Paleontologists think that this snail lives in the sea 50 million years ago.

Sea scorpion

The fossil of J.rhenaniae - a marine scorpion discovered in 2007. This is actually a monster sea scorpion with a length of up to 46cm. Fortunately, this species is extinct 250 million years ago. This scorpion species hunts and eats cannibalism in shallow waters near the shore.

Ground scorpion

Kirktonennsis is a scorpion species with a body length of up to 60cm. This species lived in the Devonian period, 400 million years ago. Maybe its food is arthropods and insects although its venom is strong enough to kill some large animals.

Cameroceras

Cameroceras, mollusks , are considered one of the largest sea assassins living in the paleontology. This creature can be up to 9 meters long. Cameroceras is probably the largest marine predator in the Paleozoic period. He lives in the deep sea and waits for prey. This species is almost blind and very lazy.

Centipede giant Euphoberia

Euphoberia is quite similar to the current centipede in terms of its shape and behavior. However, this species can be up to nearly 1m long, living mainly in Europe and North America. We know that a small 25 cm centipede can eat birds, snakes and bats, what can Euphoberia do?

Scientists still do not know why this species is extinct.

Super giant centipede

Arthropleura is the ancestor of centipedes and polyhedra. It can be up to 2.4 meters long and the body diameter can reach several feet. It can be considered the largest invertebrate on Earth to date. They lived 300 million years ago. Although the body is large, this species only eats grass.
