That's so cool! At 63cm, I wouldn't exactly call it a dragon fly though...A flying squirrel maybe? :D

- pbaehr 14y agoYou must have some weird looking squirrels where you live.
- neya 14y agoNot exactly where I live, but there's a mountain nearby and I recently happened to go trekking, there were some giant squirrels - At the size of an average puppy dog, or an over-grown cat...

- splotcheleven 14y agoReally old dragonfly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meganeura http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meganeura Meganeura is a genus of extinct insects from the Carboniferous period approximately 300 million years ago, which resembled and are related to the present-day dragonflies. With wingspans of up to 65 cm (25.6 in), M. monyi is one of the largest known flying insect species; the Permian Meganeuropsis permiana is another. Meganeura were predatory, and fed on other insects, and even small amphibians.
- neya 14y agoWow! Thanks for the info..here the dragon flies have a span of maximum say, something under 10 cm...so, was surprised to see something at 63 cm..
- samstave 14y agoWhats really interesting is that the amount of oxygen in the air impacts the size of insects. There was a study where by increasing the amount of oxygen in the air, in just a few generations, insect were gaining as much as 10% in size.
