Myrmeleontiformia, consisting of antlions and their relatives, are an ancient group of lacewing insects characterized by predatory larvae with unusual morphologies and behaviors. An international team led by Prof. WANG Bo from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS) and two Italian researchers found fossil Myrmeleontiformia fauna from the mid-Cretaceous (approximately 100 million years ago) preserved in Burmese amber. The study was published in Nature Communications on August 22, 2018.
