The largest known insect of all time was a predator resembling a dragonfly but was only distantly related to them.
Its name is Meganeuropsis, and it ruled the skies before pterosaurs, birds and bats had even evolved.
Meganisoptera is an extinct family of insects, all large and predatory and superficially like today’s odonatans, the dragonflies / dragonfly and damselflies / damselfly.
And the very largest of these was Meganeuropsis.
It is known from two species, with the type species being the immense Meganeuropsis permiana.
