this insect is hard to pin down, for what it is exactly, it has 11 abdominal segments, which is very strange for an insect, but we think it might be a larvae of stemm-Holometabola insect fro Permian. Another case of "who the hell knows what it is, but its cool" in palaeoentomology

uns 10 anos atrás eu assisti uma palestra onde os pesquisadores conseguiram um tipo de fóssil de uma espécie de ortóptero com essas estruturas preservadas, sendo capazes de simular o som que o bicho fazia há milhões de anos - até tocaram o som lá pra gente na palestra, absolute palaeoentomology

Been dealing with a sick 3yo niece all week. Had to keep her home from swimming and school over the past couple of days. Currently discussing palaeontology and palaeoentomology with her

She really loves bugs and dinosaurs
