200 palaeonentomologists discover two new rove beetle species in Botswana's Orapa Diamond Mine sediments.
Fossil insects like beetles, aphids, thrips, and plant lice, studied by a small global community of palaeonentomologists, help reconstruct Earth's distant past. This research, often led by only 200 professionals, including Sandiso Mnguni (first and only black South African), uncovers new species and contributes to understanding life's complexity over time. Recent discoveries include two new rove beetle species in Botswana's Orapa Diamond Mine sediments.
