An ancient wasp may have zipped among the dinosaurs, with a body like a Venus flytrap to seize and snatch its prey, scientists reported Wednesday.

An extinct species of parasitic wasp dating back nearly 99 million years was found preserved in amber, according to researchers.

The abdominal apparatus of Sirenobethylus is unlike anything previously reported from any extant wasp or indeed any insect known to us,” the team wrote in their study. Researchers posited two theories to explain the anatomy.
