Scientists have found a new species of prehistoric insect, Cascoplecia insolitism preserved in amber, a tiny "unicorn" fly with an unusual set of eyes.
The fly, found in a 100-million-year-old chunk of amber from a mine in Myanmar, has a small horn on the top of its head with three simple eyes on top, in addition to two larger compound eyes.

I dove into the refreshingly cool waters of the Santa Margarita River in Fallbrook. It was a long, hot, rocky hike to reach these waters but well worth it. Especially when this awesome dragonfly had staked out a perch in the waters where I was relaxing. It took my stealthiest of creeping to get within inches of this beast. It beautiful blue eyes watched me steadily the whole 5 minutes or so I took my shots. Sometimes its head would flitch side to side and its mandibles would move! At one point it took a couple seconds to snatch a fly out of the air and return to its favorite spot.

A side view of the structure; from here it's appears that they are protruding from between the head and thorax. See this post for more on these caterpillars.
I don't remember where I took this. I think this is a grasshopper, but don't take my word for it.
