Description Platypus Wasp (Anatis vesparum); Native to - Europa (Ice Moon of Jupiter). Above ground dwelling species, makes its home within the ice bores of the surface; However it is speculated, due to the webbed feet and large lungs, that the adapted duck-like bill is used to burrow deep below the thick crusted surface - A process which takes many years, creating water tunnels which it keeps thawed with a mixed secretion it sprays into the ice/water tunnel from glands near its rear during the process. Though this has never been documented and proven true.

This is cool! Although I'm not a big fan of hexapods, I am so of platypuses. Made me think of my platypus bug .

Should have had a vertical bill to be a cross between a bill and a insect-like mandible.

Nobody I know of can combine mammal, reptile, and insect parts and make the animal look as if it really could exist. This platywasp is disturbing, but amazing!
