Description: These unique fossil specimens feature perfectly outlined dragon fly larvae. Dragonfly larvae are aquatic and have a distinct appearance, including large, prominent eyes, a pair of pincer-like jaws, and a segmented body. The larval stage is the stage in the lifecycle of a dragon fly which occurs between the egg stage and the fully formed adult stage. Fossils of dragonfly larvae help scientists understand the evolutionary history of dragonflies and provide evidence of how these insects have adapted over millions of years.
