Do not be alarmed by this heavily armed, parasitic wasp that bears no close relationship to any other organism, and is such a badass that it apparently traded flying for leaping like a grasshopper. Mercifully, Aptenoperissus burmanicus went extinct a long time ago. Encased in 100-million year old amber, this spectacularly well-preserved wasp was unearthed in the Hukawng Valley in Myanmar, one of the richest deposits of Cretaceous fossils on Earth.
