i got this picture from a chinese website where people sell fossils.
unidentificated insects. but looks some a bit similar with phasmid. i can't tell as it is quite fuzzy.

it was collected from Liaoxi fossil group. (west LiaoNing prov. N.E.China).

i collect tropical beetles(lucanidae,cetonidae,cerambycidae,prionidae,dynastidae,buprestidae,tenebrionidae etc.),and one-beetle groups like grasshoppers,phasmids,cokroachs.etc.

It is very similar in shape to a few species found in Florida known for squirting noxious chemical when disturbed.
