Description
Lateral reconstruction of the marine arthropod, Yohoia tenuis, from the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale of British Columbia. Resembling a hybrid between the preying mantis and a shrimp with gills and paddle-like tail, this swimming arachnomorph may have used its long, hinged appendages for snatching prey from the muddy substrate.
