dragonflies and butterflys and moths are insects not animals.
But I don’t believe any of them evolved millions of years ago, anyway.
I find it hard to believe that we have found blood, and flesh that “dates” to 69 to 80 million years, still viable (and DNA sequenceable) even though it’s been at room temperature.
I find it interesting that people will *just* accept as fact that blood and flesh can still exist after 69 million years buried at ground temp. Put some blood or flesh in a jar sometime and wait. I bet it doesn’t take 69 Million years to predict it will decay.
Insects are animals. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that “animal” means a vertebrate only. Some people even think birds are not animals, and refer to “wild animals and birds.” Fish are animals, reptiles are animals, worms are animals, clams are animals.
