科学家在琥珀中发现了古老的黄蜂 与捕猎猎物的金星苍蝇的腹部相似 Scientists discover ancient wasp in amber with a Venus flytrap-like abdomen for trapping prey.

科学家发现了一个古老的黄蜂, 叫做Sirenobethybeus charybdis, 保存在9 900万年前的琥珀里, 有着一种独特的腹部, 类似于金星的苍蝇陷阱。 Scientists have found an ancient wasp, named Sirenobethylus charybdis and preserved in 99-million-year-old amber, with a unique abdomen resembling a Venus flytrap. 在黄蜂产卵时,这种结构很可能被用来保持松动昆虫的不动状态,类似于现代寄生蜂的运行方式。 This structure was likely used to hold wriggling insects still while the wasp laid its eggs, similar to how modern parasitic wasps operate. 该发现在《BMC生物学》杂志中详细介绍,使人们深入了解古代昆虫的多种复杂适应情况。 The discovery, detailed in the journal BMC Biology, provides insights into the diverse and complex adaptations of ancient insects.
