Scientists have found fossils of an early insect that seems to have the body parts from many different types of today insects. It represents an evolutionary conundrum.

Coxoplectoptera, a recently discovered extinct species of insect, has left good-quality fossils that let scientists track its lifecycle. Its life seems to be spent looking like other animals.

It has the long spindly legs of a praying mantis, something that would be useful, since its discoverers believe that it hunted by sneak attack. It had the body and wing shape of a dragonfly, which might have helped it rise and strike from the hunters blinds that it dug into the mud along the edge of the river. The veins in the wings, however, make it most closely tied to a mayfly. The discovery of the insect in both its forms helps scientists get an idea of how wing structures evolved.
