>they've had a lot of time
so has everything else thats come about since the last mass extinction
>they just find a new niche bro
ok but did every one of the billions of beetle species find their own niche? no, they all massively overlap. how did evolution dictate the sheer number of different species?
>ants and bees are different
true, but what exactly is the difference between them and beetles that we have god knows how many millions of beetles but only a few thousand ant and bee species? i know there are a hundred thousand butterfly species but again, why?
>there is [sic] quite literally billions of species of insects that have died before we could ever observe them
yes and that helps my point, do you think you could say the same thing about birds? or dogs? or even spiders and moths? i dont think so
>developed some hyperautistic relationship with some random fungus
you dont need to be a different species to do this, and anyway is that even consistently beneficial for evolution to go that way?
