20 Of The Largest Insects In The World

[Schermi]

The largest group of insects that ever existed are the Meganisoptera (commonly but incorrectly referred to as Protodonata) or Griffenflies. They were predatory flying insects with wingspan of 12 – 75 cm. Like dragonflies, to which they were related, they had long narrow bodies, huge eyes, and strong jaws and spiny legs for grasping prey. Thankfully though, it can be assumed that they evolved some time during the mid Carboniferous, flourished until the end of the Paleozoic.
