The '''petaltail dragonfly''' (known as the '''giant petaltail''' in {{CF|short}}) is a rare [[bug]] in {{CF}} and {{NL}}. It can be found flying in the air from 5 PM to 7 PM between [[August]] and [[October]]. It is the fastest of the dragonflies, and it is the only one that can fly over cliffs. In {{NL|short|nolink}}, the petaltail dragonfly is much rarer than it is in {{CF|short|nolink}}.

The '''Giant Petaltail''' (テイオウムカシヤンマ, ''Teioumukashiyanma''), also known as the '''Petaltail Dragonfly''' in {{NL}}, is found in [[August]], [[September]], and [[October]]. It is considered a rare [[insect]], selling for 8,000 [[bells]]. It is dark and is easily identifiable due to its immense size and evasive flying ability, making it difficult to catch. It also can fly over cliffs, unlike other dragonflies. It has the largest picture of all bugs in the encyclopedia. In {{NL}}, the Petaltail Dragonfly is much more rare than it is in ''City Folk''.

''Petalura ingentissima'', commonly known as the giant petaltail, is the largest dragonfly species in the world, its wingspan measuring 160 mm. Its range is restricted to the northern parts of Queensland, Australia, and unlike other species, the larvae live in underground burrows - from which they prey upon passing insects. Although the genus to which the giant petaltail belongs dates back to the Jurassic period, its members have not evolved substantially, a fact able to be observed by examining the fossils that have been discovered.
