A new paper in [Current Biology](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982220307727?via=ihub) shows the head morphology of the species *Leanchoilia illecebrosa* - a member of Megacheira, an extinct group of arthropods. This is the fifth in a series of publications that represent an ongoing collaboration between research groups led by MCZ's Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology and OEB professor [Javier Ortega-Hernández](https://ortega-hernandezlab.oeb.harvard.edu) and Yu Liu, Professor of Paleobiology at Yunnan University.
