Meganeura monyi was an insect related to today's dragonflies, which lived in the Carboniferous period (300 million years ago). With a wingspan of more than 70 cm, it was the largest insect species that existed on Earth. 😮 #dbuzz #hive #photography #insects

That's pretty big for a dragonfly.They lived near the edge of bodies of water, such as streams and ponds.They also known as carnivores. But according to what I've read they are extinct because the atmosphere's oxygen levels decreased. Their fossils soon discovered in France, 1880

Hmmmm.... I'm assuming the pictured insect is a Dragonfly and not "Meganeura monyi?"
