Genesis 7
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
22All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit[1] of life, all that was on the dry LAND, died.
So Genesis 6:17 Must not be talking about all things because these verses reveal that the sea animals did not perish.
Yes, but "of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth" certainly would include the enormous number of terrestrial insects many of which have very specific needs such as particular flowers, parasitisms, and reproductive environments in order to survive. We are still finding new insect species today, many of which can only be found in very small areas. How did all of these insects (I think a gross estimate would be about 500,000 species of terrestrial insects) fit on the ark with all their specific needs met?
