Musk to pay a million dollars to voter who favored Republican candidate

Billionaire Elon Musk fulfilled his previous promise and rewarded one voter from Wisconsin with one million dollars for supporting the Republican-backed candidate Brad Schimel in the local elections. The election will determine whether the Supreme Court of Wisconsin will remain under liberal control 4: 3 or if it will lean towards a conservative majority. Opponent Susan Crawford, supported by the Democratic Party, rejected this possibility before the elections as an attempt at illegal purchase of influence on the court in the state where his company Tesla is involved in a legal dispute. The case could end up in court, reported the AP agency.

Prehistoric wasp functioned as a "flytrap"

A newly identified wasp, which flew among dinosaurs 99 million years ago, developed a bizarre mechanism for trapping other creatures according to new research. Paleontologists have studied 16 specimens of a tiny wasp preserved in amber, which was previously discovered in Myanmar. The previously unknown species, now named Sirenobethylus charybdis, had a flytrap-like structure on its belly that could have allowed it to catch other insects, scientists reported in the journal BMC Biology. This wasp injected eggs into the trapped body before releasing it and used the creature as an unwitting host for its eggs, CNN reported.
