Is Cockroaches Were Exist 120 million Years Before Dinosaurs?

Dinosaurs that first appeared during the Triassic period are a diverse group of Reptiles of the clade Dinosauria. The exact origin and timing of this giant species is still a subject of research but the current research says that they came on this earth in between 231 and 243 million years ago. They were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates in the earth around 201 million years ago. But they disappear from the earth 66 million years ago. No one can say anything accurately about the origin of the Dinosaurs, it is still in the research!

DINOSAURS

Now the biggest question arises here that who came first Cockroaches or Dinosaurs?

Everyone thinks that dinosaurs came first but the fact is that Cockroaches were there 120 million years before the dinosaurs roamed the earth. The Cockroaches are an ancient group and are 320 million years ago.

COCKROACH

Cockroaches are members of the order Blattodea, which includes the Termites, a group of insects once thought to be separate from cockroaches. About 30 cockroaches species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats and about four species are known as pests.

Because of their ease of rearing and resilience, cockroaches have been used as insect models in the laboratory, particularly in the fields of neurobiology, reproductive physiology and social behaviour.

The researcher found that cockroaches were 120 million years before dinosaurs. Everyone is still thinking is it true? But it is true and this is one of the hidden interesting fact about the world!!
