'Hell ant' found trapped in 99 million-yr-old amber in the act of capturing prey

A now-extinct insect, called "Haidomyrmecine" or "hell ant", has been discovered trapped in a 99 million-year-old amber, caught in the act of capturing its prey. The prey is an extinct relative of the cockroach. Scientists said this confirms how the ant's mouthparts worked, wherein its scythe-like jawbones moved in an unusual vertical motion to pin prey against its horn-like appendages.
