Wikipedia Abstract

Austrophlebia costalis, the southern giant darner, is a species of dragonfly endemic to Australia. This species is believed to be one of the fastest flying odonates, with an old reference claiming to have clocked one at nearly 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) but no modern confirmation.
