Bizarre parasitic wasps preserved in amber about 99 million years ago had trap-like abdomens that they may have used to immobilise other insects https://t.co/bNChDz2msg

Delighted to see this paper out! We present a new trace fossil assemblage from the Cambrian of Normandy.
In collaboration with @OSURennes and @DSCG_Unica. Special thanks to @PaleoSoc and @SEPMGEO for the Student Research Grants.

The super cool thing I found today in the @mfnberlin collection: a teratological cuckoo wasp (left)! Female Chrysididae of this genus usually show three metasomal segments (right) but this specimen has the second tergite divided on one half and shortened on the other 😮

[Manuel Brazidec @manu_bzd]

I am very thrilled to visit the Hymenoptera collection of the @mfnberlin this week 😊🐝 Apart from browsing through the numerous Chrysidoidea specimens, I also went admiring the gigantic dinosaurs of the main exhibition 🦕
