Entomological Hubub

There is a great hubub within the entomological community that has recently taken form. A new order of insect was classified (the last order to be discovered was Grylloblattodea in 1914) last year. It is being called Mantophasmatodea because its members have many characteristics in common with the orders Mantodea and Phasmatodea, but several entirely unique characteristics as well. All specimens have come from a massif in Namibia, and specimens preserved in amber from 45 million years ago show that little evolutionary change has occurred.
