Ancient Cicada Fossil Is Seriously Next-Level

A 47-million-year-old cicada fossil found in Germany is so well preserved you can literally see the veins in its wings! Scientists just named it Eoplatypleura messelensis, and it’s the oldest known "singing" cicada in Europe. The crazy part? Its male relatives probably made noise just like the ones that keep us up all summer. This find pushes back the cicada family tree by 20 million years—turns out these bugs have been buzzing way longer than we thought! #FossilFind #Cicada #ScienceNews #AncientHistory #NatureNerd #Science
