The world's most charming amber spider catching wasps instantly

琥珀

Amber is a resin fossil formed by the resin of the coniferous plant dating from 45 to 65 million years ago, which has been chemically changed. Amber is often able to drip onto small animals and freeze the instantaneous movements of these animals, so it is also seen as an important fossil reference to these small creatures tens of millions of years ago.

Prehistoric spider blood. Scientists have discovered a unique amber 20 million years ago in the Dominican Republic. It has a high scientific value, and the amber contains the earliest blood drops of ancient animals found so far. Paleontologist David Penney said that in the future, spider blood samples can be extracted from the amber to help scientists study the origin of spiders in the Caribbean.

Ancient feathers. In 2011, Ryan McKellar, a paleontologist at the University of Alberta in Canada, discovered 11 specimens of amber containing feathers. There is a feather structure called “dinosaur fluff”, in which a feather sample contains rules. The hollow fiber of the pitch is about 16 microns in diameter. It is probably an ancient bird or a feather on the body of a dinosaur.

Early insect camouflage. In 2012, researchers at the University of Barcelona reported that a sample of insect fossils was discovered 110 million years ago in Spain, which is the earliest evidence of insect camouflage. It is a creature called Hallucinochrysadiogenesi, an ancient close relative of modern grasshoppers. Like modern grasshoppers, it wraps plant filaments around its body, forming a projection that tries to hide in the sight of predators.

Gnome locusts. One of the most important amber samples in the Dominican Republic is the ancient new species, the pygmy aphid, whose scientific name is Electrotettixattenboroughi, discovered by British naturalist David Ardenborg. This pygmy aphid sample is similar in size to the rose bud, living between 18 and 20 million years ago in the Tertiary Miocene. This amber has important value, confirming the transitional type of locust evolution.

Bianque carries the oldest Lyme disease. This year, scientists found the oldest Lyme virus evidence in an amber. Because amber can preserve soft tissue intact, scientists collect a large number of microscopic samples, including bacteria stored in larger organisms. Researchers at Oregon State University analyzed amber samples from the Dominican Republic and found that ancient ticks infected with Lyme bacteria, dating back 15 to 20 million years.

The parasite on the ant's head. In a part of the Baltic Sea between 44 million and 49 million years ago, an ant with parasites on its head was trapped in a pond by a resin to form a perfect amber. This parasite is a species of the genus Aphid, which lives in the head of an ant. It is likely that the ants will spawn on the ant's head and behave like some of the current locust species, which clearly see the anatomy of the ants and parasites.

The earliest spider web. In fact, only a small number of dinosaur spider webs have been found so far. In 2006, an amber was found in Spain, containing a spider web of 110 million years ago. In 2003, an older spider web was discovered in Lebanon. Its history can be traced back to 1.32 billion years ago, but the oldest spider web amber preserves the spider web, which is about 140 million years old.

spider. During the Cretaceous period more than 100 million years ago, a round spider was preparing to pounce on a male wasp trapped on a spider web. Suddenly a drop of resin fell from a height and hit the spider. This amber perfectly preserves this scene. It was not until 2012 that archaeologists discovered this amber in Hukang Valley, Myanmar, and it was identified that this female round spider is now extinct.
