    Definitely the second (by around a hundred million years), probably not the first (some dragonflies were certainly large enough to hunt small flying dinosaurs — i.e., small birds —, but they almost certainly lived one or two hundred million years apart, which would have made the whole affair rather difficult, as dragonflies, as good as they are, can't yet hunt through time).
