If undaunted by the oysterâs rough, rock-hard, nearly-impossible-to-open shell, the undoubtedly famished first taster would then have confronted the gray, slimy, almost phlegmatic appearance of its plump body.
2 Answers. 0. The largest flying animals that ever lived were members of the Azhadrichidae family of pterosaurs, flying reptiles that lived around the same time as the dinosaurs, though they were not actually dinosaurs. The name Azhadrichidae comes from the word Ajdarxo, a dragon in Uzbek mythology.
The biggest known fly from the family Diptera (true flies) is Gauromydas heros. Good luck finding any pictures of it, though. There are many other large flies including the tiger bee flie, African bot flies, Horse flies, and robber flies which all can grow to substantial sized, for a fly.
