The fossil dated to ~99 million years ago preserves a hell ant, Ceratomyrmex ellenbergeri, grasping its prey (a nymph of the cockroach relative Caputoraptor elegans) in a manner that is only possible through vertical mandible movement.
New paper with @NinonLS is out! We report a wild set of fossil associations – springtails hitching a ride on a reproductive ant and termite! It turns out this behavior may not be as rare as you might think, and is still happening today. https://t.co/RU9Ayraqz6
