Three words, Timing Is Everything.
I read somewhere that you could extract DNA from animals preserved in amber and then reanimate them into live critters, like Dinosaurs and such.
Is that true? ;)
I had a hell uncle once. He died in amber (ale), too.
“Weird stuff” ain’t what it used to be. IMHO.
Too bad the hell ant never got to meet the murder hornet.
A Thug Ant is picking on a little Rover Roach who was busy looking at his new cell phone.
“Where you goin’ with that phone, Boy?
“Why? This is MY phone. Got it for my birthday today, and you can’t have it!”
“We’ll see about that, Junior. I can’t even borrow it?!”
I’m glad Hell Ants are extinct! I wouldn’t want to meet a living Hell Ant!
Soooo...
If we bring back the hell ants, we get rid of the cockroaches?
Many people have experience with Hell Aunts. Maybe the 6 legged ones would be less trouble.
“Hell ants lived during the Cretaceous period (about 145.5 million to 65.5 million years ago)” They went extinct because they had little ant-bodies to fight the diseases of the day.
Paraponera clavata is natures' improved model of ant, commonly known as the bullet ant, named for its extremely potent sting.

But it would be something if they could resurrect this 100 million year old species!
Great post. However, I got one word for you, Amdro Ant block. Got nothing for Hell Aunts, sorry.

We had a houseguest for awhile from Poland, who brought to me a string necklace of amber, probably 24 inches long. At least one stone has a creature captured in it. I used to use it as an object lesson in Sunday School on the subject of repentance.
How embarrassing would it be to be found in amber locked in combat with your ex?
All ants have stingers.

This is a wonderful opportunity to try and get some DNA from the hell-ant and to clone a whole nest of the little buggers.
What could possibly go wrong? Ref. fire ants and killer bees.
