Meganeura, the Large-Nerved One

(image source: https://walkingwith.fandom.com/wiki/Meganeura)

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Meganeura, a dragonfly the size of an eagle, because we entomophobes haven't suffered enough. From the Late Carboniferous, this 3-foot-wingspan insect ruled the skies of the coal swamps of old, taking pride in the fact that nothing bigger would evolve flight for at least seventy million years. Like, imagine knowing nothing will be bigger than humans until the 70 thousandth millennium. Feels pretty good, right?
