99-million-year-old insect preserved in amber had mouthparts nearly twice its body length

SciTechDaily describes a newly identified insect, Cretodorus noonoo, preserved in 99-million-year-old amber with mouthparts nearly twice its body length. Researchers think the folded organ could bend without collapsing, allowing it to reach sap through narrow cracks in bark. The report describes the feeding adaptation as unknown in living planthoppers.
