Late Carboniferous and Early Permian insect orders include both extant groups, their stem groups, and a number of Paleozoic groups, now extinct. During this era, some giant dragonfly-like forms reached wingspans of 55 to 70 cm (22 to 28 in), making them far larger than any living insect. This gigantism may have been du... | In addition to Carboniferous, what other insect order is inclusive of extant groups, stem groups and Paleozoic groups? | Early Permian |
