Did you know?

There was a prehistoric dragonfly that's wings spanned more than two feet.

Meganeura was extremely large carnivorous dragonfly insect that lived in France and England during the Carboniferous Period more than 300 million years ago. The Meganeura established itself as the largest known flying insect to ever exist on Earth. The dragonfly-like creature had a wingspan that stretched around 2.5 feet. The bugs were also big enough to hunt prey like frogs and newts, which it could eat with its teeth-like mandibles.
