More than 100 years ago, scientists began noticing extraordinary resemblances between insects and plants in the fossil record, such as those between certain roaches and the leaflets of particular seed ferns. Such mimicry, also seen in living animals, likely helps protect creatures from predators, or might help them sneak up on prey.

Now paleoentomologist Dong Ren at Capital Normal University in Beijing and his colleagues have discovered another such plant mimic in northeastern China’s Inner Mongolia region.

The 165-million-year-old insect in question is a species of scorpionfly, a group that gets its name from the insects’ enlarged male genitals that resemble scorpion stingers.

I got this from Victorian Fangirl Guide (Hey, you have your fandoms, I’ll have mine). I knew Victorian women were into arsenic as a cosmetic, but over-the-counter cocaine is a new one for me. Bet this made wisdom teeth a lot easier to deal with!
