It's behind a paywall, but it doesn't really matter since the bulk of the info is there in the first sentence. I'm just posting because I went 'oof, unlucky' when I saw this article about this insect. First you get stuck in amber and die. "oh no!" you think. "but at least, with the sweet release of death, my brethren will finally stop remarking on my abnormally large antennae". But wait! 100 million years after your death, your photo is featured in an international publication! And your antennae are mocked. By a different species.

Well, it moved me.
