Abstract in brief

The earliest winged insect trace fossil, previously thought to be from a mayfly landing in sediment, is reanalyzed and shown to likely belong to a modern insect family Taeniopterygidae, specifically a stonefly that skims water.
Experimental evidence, including the similarity of wing marks and the shape of the insect's thorax, supports the idea that the insect was skimming on water surfaces rather than flying or landing.
The fossil suggests that surface skimming behavior existed in Carboniferous insects and may have been a precursor to the evolution of powered flight in insects.]
