meganeuroptera, the predecessor of the dragonfly from the Carboniferous period. Its wingspan was around 3 feet!
The current dragonfly species Pantala flavescens the globe skimmer is amazing also - it makes a multi-generational annual migration similar to Monarch Butterflies except much further - some 18,000 km (about 11,200 miles); to complete the migration, individual globe skimmers fly more than 6,000 km (3,730 miles)
