So How Did The Insects Get Inside In The First Place?
There are a few theories behind the creatures’ arrival and survival in the cave. One of them is that during the Miocene Epoch, which happened approximately 5.5 Million Years ago – the same estimated time as the age of the cave – there was a change in climate. This change made the Atlantic sea stop flowing into the Mediterranean sea, making it dry out. Thus, this could have made the animals search for a new place to live. But this theory has never been proven as true.
