Palaeodictyoptera were huge insects that lived during the Carboniferous period, over 300 million years ago.
Known for their large, net-like wings with intricate vein patterns.
Highlights:
- Wingspans up to 55 cm, among the largest insects ever
- Long mouthparts used for sucking plant fluids
- Lived in lush swampy forests, coexisting with giant plants
This family vanished by the end of the Permian, likely due to massive environmental changes.
