    Yocha NewsChina scientists found fossils of giant insects known as Magnus Pseudopulex. The animal is said to have approximately 10 times the size of fleas on domestic animals.

    Reported by International Business Times, Thursday (05/03/2012), ticks are in the area of ​​Mongolia, China is believed to suck the blood of dinosaurs in their day around for millions of years. "This is an insect that is much larger than modern lice. From the size of the proboscis (tube like) in the flea, we can say that one party has its own function," says Professor Emeritus of Zoology, State University of Oregon, George Poinar.

    The study indicates, although lice infestation is similar to the modern look, but are not identical. Scientists believe giant flea has a separate lineage, and finally extinguished.

    They found the body of a giant insect that has a flat shape, like a bug (bugs). In addition, it also has a giant insect with a claw that the length can penetrate the skin of the dinosaurs, so that ticks can suck your blood.

    Meanwhile, scientists say modern lice have short antennae and able to move quickly on pet dander. "You will not talk about the old days when you were bitten by these insects. Will feel like a syringe, the bite of fleas. We can be grateful for this error is not modern," Poinar said.

    "It's really well-preserved fossils. These results are indicative of an image of life in the past, at the time of the Cretaceous (chalk) and Jurassic" he added.

    Although infestation of head lice is not as modern giants of antiquity, but modern lice also can be harmful. Almost all dogs and cats has escaped the attack of modern lice. Small animals can also transmit diseases to humans, such as bubonic plague disease (plague) that allegedly killed 75 million people.
