Today on splodge...


Oh honey honey

This is a really old bee.



It's name is Melittosphex burmensis, it comes from Myanmar and it's been lurking around in a piece of amber for 100,000,000 years (that's 100 million if you are blinded by all the zeroes) which is a really long time, 45 million years longer than the next oldest known specimen.

You were dying to know that, I can tell.
