Makes sense; there wouldn’t have been any flowers or tetrapods for them to suck on yet.

I had originally misread the other comment as saying there were no tetrapods 175mya, not during the carboniferous. That is technically correct for the beginning of the era in question, though tetrapods and flowers did evolve not long after.
