Researchers in Brazil found a fossilized hell ant in a rock, suggesting the insect was more widespread than previously thought.

The fossil’s discovery in Brazil shows that ants have been around for longer than once thought. This insect impaled its prey with scythe-like jaws, scientists say.

Researchers have discovered a never-before-seen species of "hell ant" that lived 113 million years ago, making it the oldest ant fossil ever found.
