Here is a real mass catch of Cretaceous inclusions in a Burmese amber from Myanmar. One insect inclusion is a rare representative of the drain fly (Psychodidae). This specimen is probably a member of the genus Protopsychoda. Right next to it is another small rarity, a specimen of a tick (Ixodida). And a spider's skinning shirt and much more is in thes piece of amber as well. Burmese amber offers a pronounced wealth of Cretaceous inclusions, as this piece shows nicely. | |||
