holdinghistory Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I was looking through some GRF insects that I had, and wondered if anyone had an ID for this one? I am mostly familiar with insects from amber inclusions, so it is a bit different looking at them on rock. Some options I thought of were a species of beetle, caddisfly, or maybe a cicada? Any information would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I would say a cicada, they look very similar with the lower cretaceous ones that come out Liaoning. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doushantuo Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I think it might be Lithopsis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is frustrating, an image attachment and possible species, but no citation or link. Shcherbakov, D.E.

holdinghistory Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Thank you! I will label it tentatively as a Lithopsis, until I can find some more information to confirm it. I appreciate the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
