Description:

Summary[edit] Description: Figure 5: Heydenius myrmecophila adjacent to its Linepithema ant host in Dominican amber. In the text (p. 2) it further says that the amber is 20-30 million years old (Oligocene to Early Miocene) and that “it is assumed that the traumatic events of the ant host entering the resin caused the mermithid to emerge prematurely from an opening in the gaster of the ant.”.
