Courtship behavior trapped in 100-million-year-old amber

(Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters) Dr. Zheng Daran and Professor Wang Bo from Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology described three male damselflies showing ancient courtship behavior from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. These fossils were named Yijenplatycnemis huangi after Huang Yijen from Taiwan, for his generously donation of the type specimen.
