Palaeodictyoptera, an ancient order of winged insects prevalent during the late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic eras, is distinguished by its large, veined wings and primitive characteristics that foreshadowed modern insects. Flourishing in diverse habitats, this remarkable group succumbed to environmental upheavals and the rise of more advanced insect taxa, leading to its eventual extinction.
An ancient arachnid of the Jurassic epoch, Chimerarachne captivated the natural world with its unique blend of spider and non-spider traits, particularly its elongated spinnerets and distinctive morphology. Originating in the lush environments of what is now Myanmar, this enigmatic genus succumbed to the pressures of evolutionary competition and habitat changes, ultimately vanishing from the fossil record.

Glaucopsyche xerces, the Xerces Blue butterfly, graced the coastal regions of California with its iridescent wings, emblematic of the Lycaenidae family. Originating in the early 20th century, it captivated naturalists with its delicate beauty and habitat specificity. However, habitat destruction and the encroachment of urbanization led to its tragic extinction by the 1940s.

Neduba extincta, a noteworthy representative of the Tetragnathidae family, once thrived amidst the lush landscapes of ancient ecosystems. Its unique morphology, characterized by elongated body and distinctive markings, rendered it a fascinating subject of study within the realm of arachnology. Yet, the relentless march of environmental change and habitat disruption heralded its downfall, leading to its extinction.
