Oh to live in a world where a dragonfly-like insect, Meganeuropsis graced the skies! What iridescent hues flashed on those great wings in
the Carboniferous sun? What sound did they make as they flew?

If you know about dragon flies you know about: The Nymphs.

Nymph such an innocent word for a swamp monster. In the 15th century they were called “pond lizards.”

We know nothing of the nymphs of Meganeuropsis. But thing how large they must have been! Heavier than the adults. Pond dragons!
