This just in: Scientists have discovered a new species of teeny-tiny wasp frozen in 100-million-year-old amber. And get this – the little bugger’s antennae end in these weird, bulbous structures that look like a pair of golden lungs. Crazy, right? Researchers think the bouncing antenna balls belonged to an extinct family of micro-wasps, but they’re stumped as to their purpose. Were they seeds? Eggs? A pain in the butt that made it hard to fly? Who knows! But one thing’s for sure – homeboy won’t be buzzing around with those goofy accessories anymore. Rest in peace, little dude! And keep bringing us crazy creatures trapped in ancient tree sap.
