Dear forum, I've visited recently the magnific endless expositions of the Naturistorisches Museum Wien (Vienna natural history museum). Almost all fossils were identified here, but there are some that don't. Usually I don't photograph the latter ones but this one was exciting for me as it belongs to a group of insects (still extant) that I like a lot. The fossil come from Liaoning, China. Size is about the same than modern-day Bittacus. Any suggestion of genus and species, please? Thanks!

Same story as yesterday: My colleague and I wanted to visit a customer near Nincheng in Nei Mongol, China when I saw a drywall made out of grey flag stones. Looked very promising. I could pursuade my colleague (who was driving the car) to take a rest.... Unfortunately I could not tear down the wall - the owner of the drywall didn't like my idea and opposed. I guess the shale is from Daohugou region. Mecoptera non det. Female Possibly belonging to the Panorpidae Jiulongshan Formation Middle Jurassic Ningcheng Nei Mongol China- 1 comment
