Scientists have identified a new insect species preserved in 100-million-year-old amber from Myanmar. The true bug features unusual front legs ending in large claw-like structures similar to crab pincers. Researchers named it Carcinonepa libererrantes after the K-pop group Stray Kids.
Researchers at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich led the study of the fossil from Myanmar's Kachin region. They used micro-computed tomography to create detailed 3D images of the insect's anatomy. The team compared the claws with more than 2,000 similar structures from living and extinct species.
