Unusual Jurassic Insect Fossil from MongoliaDescription: The Daohuguo Beds in Inner Mongolia have yielded a fauna much like that of the somewhat younger Yixian Formation. This is one I have hesitated to post as I tried to determine just what it was. In some aspects it looks like some from of nymph, but I am simply not sure. At any rate, it is most uncommon. Perhaps some astute collector has an idea?
