Description
Martian creatures from Lieutenant Gullivar Jones: His Vacation (1905) by Edwin Lester Arnold.

"beasts half birds, birds half creeping things, and creeping things which it seemed to me passed through lesser creations down to the basest life that crawls without interruption or division."

I imagine this creature as a much smaller and weaker descendant of the Hippomyrmices from Lucian’s True History Part 1, who at some point in the distant past flew from the Sun to Mars. www.deviantart.com/art/Hippomy…
