Scientists have discovered a 100-million-year-old insect species which appears like the alien character from the movie 'ET', preserved in amber in Myanmar. The insect has a triangular head with bulging eyes giving it the ability to see almost 180° by turning its head sideways. Aethiocarenodea, a new scientific order has been created to be assigned to the insect.
