Hints: fern horsetails club mosses fossil Scottish Carboniferous Meganeura wingspan millipede cockroach 音频缺失 最后一词为undergrowth

Predatory dragonflies were common, and some were absolutely huge. This one, Meganeura, was the size of a hawk, with a wingspan of over 60 centimeters. The forest floor was a bug's world too. Fossil footprints of a millipede show that it was nearly two meters long. Over 800 species of cockroach scurried through the ancient undergrowth.
