How about Mammoth Wasps? Next to a normal sized bee in the pic.
I've also seen Helicopter Damselflies which are seriously impressive but I was too awed to attempt getting a photo.

The largest dragonfly‑like insect ever known was Meganeuropsis permiana, with an extraordinary wingspan of about 71–75 cm (roughly 28–30 inches). It lived during the Early Permian period, around 285 million years ago.
A close runner‑up was Meganeura monyi, from the Late Carboniferous (~300 million years ago), with a wingspan of 65–75 cm, but Meganeuropsis still holds the record for the largest overall.

Imagine what it sounded like.
