Description
Proturans, commonly nicknamed "coneheads", are an order within the animal kingdom that reside in soil environments. These organisms are very small; either microscopic or barely visible to the naked eye. Proturans are a type of hexapod (six legs), but they are not considered to be true insects. [1].
