My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

Front view of my life-size Megeneura model (70cm wingspan), for the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt (2017). It would have been a fearsome predator with a nasty bite and loud wings!

Interesting thing about Meganeura (a Carboniferous "griffin fly"), its wing anatomy was a little different to dragonflies; e.g., it doesn't appear to have had a node or a pterostigma (let me know if there is any new info on this).
