蜉蝣 Mayflies 蜉蝣 Mayflies  

蜉蝣堪稱昆蟲中的活化石,是最早的有翅昆蟲,它的祖先化石發現於距今三億五千萬年前的石炭紀後期,一雙大眼和蜻蜓長得相似,但卻是不同的兩種昆蟲。它現身於琥珀中的機率不高,長長的尾絲是主要特徵。

Mayflies can be called a living fossil among insects. As the earliest winged insect, its ancestor fossil was found in the late Carboniferous 350 million years ago. It has a pair of big eyes resembling dragonfly, but they are two different kinds of insects. Its chance of appearing in amber is low, featuring long cerci.
