The answer is Permian-Triassic extinction.

The Permian-Triassic extinction was 252 million years ago. It is known as The Great Dying because about 95% of all species died out due to environmental changes (volcanic eruptions, dry climate, melting of ice sheets, etc). This is also the only event in which many insect species wiped out.
