Youti yuanshi is a tiny larva that was trapped in mud half a billion years ago in Yunnan Province of China .
It is preserved so well that its exoskeleton is almost completely intact, and even the outlines of what were once its internal organs can be seen through the lens of a microscope.
Durham University researchers were able to see features of both ancient and modern arthropods.
Yuti yuanshi is still holding on to some mysteries, mostly because it is a larva.
It's possible that this species developed compound eyes or flaps for swimming by the time it reached adulthood.
Maybe the answers are buried somewhere in the Yuan’shan shale.
