A trove of tiny organisms fossilized in resin, including this Phoridae fly a few millimeters long, is worth its weight in gold, say the paleontologists who found the rare bounty in the western Amazonian basin. These flies, members of the Phoridae family, have apparently convinced the normally fierce, predatory ants to feed and care for them, say Andreas Weissflog of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, and his colleagues. |
