I too had your reaction when I first saw the mural. It was the latest thing in dinos when I was a kid in the fifties. I think, if I remember correctly, that the mural was recently cleaned and/or refurbished etc. What did you think of the giant turtle-thing hanging on the wall. Its bigger than a kind-sized bed!

Didn’t learn about that back in Entomology 101 at Cornell, but that was back in the Stone Age of the late ’90s . . . : )

Sweet post. The higher oxygen content of the atmosphere in the Carboniferous undoubtedly helped the arthropods do their over-sized thing, but it has been shown that insects can actively pump air through their tracheae.
