The particular species I based my design after is Meganeura monyi which had an estimated wingspan ranging from 25.6 to 28 inches and lived around 300 million years ago. For reference the earliest known dinosaur appeared 243 million years ago, making Meganeura and other griffinflies considerably older. I used several different artworks as well as referenced fossils of Meganeura and existing species of dragonflies to make this design and I made it as close as I could to Meganeura’s estimated size. However, there isn’t much information to be found about the real creature so I can’t claim my depiction is all that accurate because no one actually knows exactly what it would’ve looked like. Only what we can learn from poorly preserved fossils. And I also took a few creative liberties to make my design somewhat cuter as an actual dragonfly at that size would probably be kinda creepy. So please consider that it’s not meant to look exactly like a modern dragonfly and you will notice differences if you compare it to the dragonflies that exist today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #309e0b;\"\u003e Jonathan Sigrist - creator \/ digitizer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*This design has been manually created in Wilcom Digitizing Software and has many areas that should not be resized. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the stitch out if it has been altered in any way by resizing, editing, merging OR opening in a software program that may change the settings in the design. Some programs automatically colorsort and make other small changes that could affect the stitch out. We recommend downloading this design straight to your embroidery machine.  We are unable to provide assistance if any changes have been made to the original design or if the included instructions are not followed.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e ©A Stitch in Time – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"A Stitch in Time Embroidery Designs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39809093664881,"sku":"","price":21.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/4950\/products\/20220612_200236.jpg?v=1655120000","url":"https:\/\/astitchintimedesigns.com\/products\/giant-dragonfly9x14","provider":"A Stitch in Time Embroidery Designs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
