This strange insect found preserved in amber represents a new species, genus, family and order of insects.

At first glance, it's an ant, second glance "not at all". ET maybe, ""The strangest thing about this insect is that the head looked so much like the way aliens are often portrayed," Poinar said. "With its long neck, big eyes and strange oblong head, I thought it resembled E.T. I even made a Halloween mask that resembled the head of this insect. But when I wore the mask when trick-or-treaters came by, it scared the little kids so much I took it off." Dr George Poinar

Thanks for posting. Insects are so very interesting, how amazing that a new Order has been discovered...

The world has seen an age of dinosaurs, an age of mammals, and yet to come perhaps one day there will be an age of Insects. What a fierce and beautiful world it might be.
