From: Convergent evolution and convergent loss in the grasping structures of immature earwigs and aphidlion-like larvae as demonstrated by about 100-million-year-old fossils

Fig. 9

Scatterplot of the first two principal components describing the outlines of grasping structures of only immature specimens, namely of earwig cerci and of aphidlion(-like) lacewing stylets. In contrast to Fig. 8, the morphospace occupation of the cerci of extant and fossil earwigs is only indicated by polygons. Three example shapes of fossil aphidlion-like larvae (4811, 4812, 4818) and one example shape of an extant aphidlion larva (4001) are presented. PC principal component
