2” wingspan doesn’t seem that ‘giant’.

Researchers have found giant lacewing fossils dating back to around 165 million years ago during the Jurassic era. The one found in Arkansas has a wingspan of about 2 inches (50 millimeters).

I guess "giant" is a relative term in this case.

There you go, way to save the Walmart closures in Portland.
Walmarts are Endangered Species habitat.

How it will be recorded in Scientific American..
“ The last surviving member of a 168 million year old species was killed by a MAGA wearing insect hunter denier. He didn’t know what he had, typical of a Walmart shopper who votes republican while reciting Bible verses. People on the internet were aghast when they realized the significance of what he was showing off as his trophy with a large pin still sticking through the body. Gaia is crying today, and we hope he/she/they sticks a large pin into this species exterminator.
Harvard has received a 200 million dollar research grant to study the possibility of cloning and repopulating this species.

Dragonfly (2002)
When Dr. Joe Darrow (Kevin Costner) loses his wife Emily in a tragic bus accident in Venezuela, Joe begins to notice signs that she is trying to communicate with him from the grave. Since Emily had a penchant for dragonflies, the graceful insects symbolize and mark Emily’s efforts to reach Joe.

During Jurassic they would have had 2 Foot wingspan (not 2”) to be considered giant.

Air pressures were at least 4 times higher than today, with higher oxygen levels that made huge flying insects possible.

Could it be another variation of China spy flying?

This is just the fallout of liberal control of a state as it breeds Jurassic insects to go along with Jurassic intellect of people and how to treat “educated” people of the state. The rest are approved to feed the insects.

There are probably a lot of bugs and insects that scientists believe are extinct but which actually thrive in some habitat that is not commonly known. Of course, I wouldn’t think to look in an Arkansas Wal-mart for them either. Sometimes “experts” look for evidence of animals in the most convenient places for the scientists, not the most likely location of the animal. And sometimes they are surprised when they locate an animal to find it is thriving in a place which experts had previously thought would not support them (like Walmart).

lacewings are considered beneficial insects
they eat bad bugs

2” wing span on a lacewing is not earth-shattering ginormous

Skvarla is director of the university’s Insect Identification Lab.
Skvarla finds an “Antlion”.
8 years later, Skvarla shows it to students.
Student realize Skvarla is an idiot.
