FUNGUS GNAT



                     Age: 128 million years old

                     Size: 8 millimeters (0.3 in) long with wings of 5 millimeters (0.2 in);
                     matrix: 77 millimeters (3 in) by 50 millimeters (2 in)

                     Location: Chao Yang, Liaoning Province

                     Formation: Yixian Formation

                     Period: Lower Cretaceous

                     Fungus gnats belonging to the Sciaridae family live especially in
                     damp places, preferring lower parts of plants that are closer to soil.


                     The fossil fungus gnat pictured is 128 million years old. Fungus
                     gnats that lived millions of years ago are just as those of our day.
                     Fossil records show that fungus gnats have always remained the
                     same, refuting the claim that they evolved from other living beings.
