Chapter 493 Headless Insects(2/2)
The audience wanted Wang Xiaoshan to dig up a powerful insect fossil, so that the audience could see if there were particularly huge insects in ancient times.
However, digging for fossils does not mean that you can dig whatever you want. You need to check whether there is one underground. If there is not one, digging for as long as you want will be in vain.
There are also some viewers who don’t want to see huge insects. Smaller insects look better, but larger ones are a bit scary.
In particular, many insects have compound eyes. Just thinking about having so many eyes is scary. It would be even scarier to actually dig out one of them and see it.
In addition, insects have more legs. If an animal pushes its legs, it will definitely be a nightmare for people with trypophobia.
"Look at the insects. If you can dig them up, I will dig them out for everyone to see. If you can't dig them up, there is nothing I can do. I will try my best!"
"The bones of insects are too brittle, and the probability of preservation is too low. If there are really huge insects, it will be very difficult to dig out a complete one!"
"It's hard to say whether there are complete giant insect fossils underground around the world."
No matter how big the insects are, their bones cannot be as strong as dinosaurs. The bones are not strong enough, so it is too difficult to preserve them.
Buried in the soil, the thin arms and legs will rot over time. Not to mention turning into fossils, they can be turned into fertilizer.
This is why the bones of large animals can be preserved for a long time when buried under the ground, while the bones of insects can be buried under the ground for a year or two without even a scrap left.
The audience's wish to see it is good, but it's hard to say whether it can be realized. Wang Xiaoshan thinks it is unlikely that large insects can be dug out of barren mountains.
There should be a few large dinosaurs dug up in the near future, but he didn't have any hope of digging up insects anyway.
After Wang Xiaoshan showed the audience the insect fossils, he took the camera and continued to show the next fossil.
