Just found out that the horsefly (Hybomitra hinei) Is 40mm long and flies at 145 km/hr giving it a scalespeed against a eurofighter of 57,855 km/hr now that is fast but is there anything faster?

How can we tell - at that speed we couldn't spot an insect :)

I think if there was an insect nearly 6mtrs long, most people would know where it was..

"GSD should be able to run 200kph"

Why?

A GSD is just a pair of hair straighteners.

Or am I thinking of GHD?
