A 99-million-year-old beetle has been found, trapped in amber, stunning scientists. The new beetle, known as Propiestus archaicus, was found in Hukawng Valley in the northern part Myanmar, near China's southern border. During the Late Cretaceous period, massive dinosaurs walked the Earth, but it's the diminutive beetle, which measures 0.1 inches long, that surprised the researchers. Yamamoto noted the beetles were walking underneath rotting trees and their antennae helped them navigate the tough terrain. "The antennae probably had a highly sensitive ability as a sensory organ," Yamamoto said.
