SOFT-BODIED ARTHROPOD

Age: 50 million years

Period: Eocene
Location: Poland

Soft-bodied arthropods (Miridae) are a family that wreaks
the greatest harm on crops and comprises a very large num-
ber of species—approximately 6,000. They tear plant tissues

and feed on the sap.
The fossils acquired to date show that soft-bodied arthro-
pods have always existed with the exact same characteris-

tics. In other words, like all living things, these insects
never underwent any form of evolutionary process. The 50-
million-year-old fossil pictured is just one of the indications
of this.
