This piece is exhibited at Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and the label only says: Odonata indet. Colorado, USA. But no data about age or formation. I think that it must be related with some Euphaeidae like Litheuphaea that have similarly patterned wings and also comes from Colorado. I need help in put a name to this piece please! Thanks!

This piece was exposed an a mineral, fossil and gem fair. I believe it's a dragonfly nymph (=inmature). It's very big in comparison with modern dragonfly nymphs: about 8 cm lenght. Piece comes from Liaoning (China) and I think it's middle Jurassic. Any help in ID? Thanks!
