A prehistoric, and long-extinct insect known as a hell ant, has been discovered frozen in amber by scientists.

Now, scientists have discovered the frightening "hell ant." Thankfully, the hell ant has been extinct for over 99 million years, so we don't have to worry about it coming to town any time soon, unless these scientists decide to pull a Jurassic Park experiment and bring it back to life.

The new hell ants were found in amber deposits from Myanmar, Canada, and France.

The mouth of these particular ants "are unlike that of nearly all insects alive today." The hell ant "used its lower mandible to move upwards and pin its prey to the horn-like paddle above." Other species of hell ants also have this horn, but scientists were unsure what it was used for until now.
