Big old cousin. Large flying insects that lived before birds evolved, such as the 300-million-year old Stephanotypus schneideri (main image),were typically much larger than those that evolved afterward, including the 12-million-year old Epiaeschna lucida (top left, shown to same scale).

Well....DUH. Where else would they go? They were all drafted by the EPA and are presently flying spy missions over private farms in Iowa.
Just let a cicada-killer wasp get into your kitchen some time. Your wife will scream as only a woman can when a large, fierce looking insect invades her space. Luckily, they are not very aggressive to humans, so it’s easy to look like a hero.
