Hundreds of millions of years ago, we had insects that were huge. The Meganeura was a dragonfly like insect that had a wingspan of nearly 1m.

It is believed that insects today are far smaller because of a higher atmospheric oxygen ratio, and hotter temperatures.

It would be pretty amazing to "resurrect" these creatures.

We can mimic prehistoric atmosphere conditions by increasing oxygen levels in a tank, and raising the temperature. Then we select for size, and get larger insects to breed.

Poof, after x generations, we have humongous insects.

I'm sick of photography and other petty arts and crafts "creative" endeavors. It's time to up the ante.


Thoughts?
