No, birds are the direct living descendant of dinosaurs. However, studies have found that a gigantic dragonfly called a Meganeuropsis Americana, with a wing span of about three feet lived during the Permian period, 290 million to about 248 million years ago.

Dragonflies were on earth long before the dinosaurs. Dragonflies are insects (invertebrates), dinosaurs are reptiles (vertebrates). They are about as closely related to each other as humans are to sea sponges.

Yes, many plants and animals existed before the first dinosaurs. The earliest plants and animals evolved during the Cambrian, about 540 million years ago. They later evolved into amphibians and then reptiles and large, vascular plants. Dinosaurs evolved from reptiles.
