Amber Inclusions from Myanmar – Windows into an Ancient World
For over 99 million years, Burmese amber has preserved traces of a vanished ecosystem.
Inclusion(s):
Neuroptera larva – Unusual lacewing larva (ungewöhnliche Netzflüglerlarve)
-
Collection Number:
bu-47
-
Inclusion Size:
Body length 1.3 mm; with antennae 3.5 mm.
-
Amber Size:
28 x 26 x 8 mm
-
Age:
Around 100 million years (Cretaceous period)
-

Myanmar
Remarks:
Exceptionally shaped lacewing larva with extremely long mandibles and antennae exceeding the body length. The delicate body structure and exaggerated sensory appendages suggest a highly specialized form unlike other known lacewing larvae from Burmese amber. Its morphology indicates a unique predatory adaptation within the diverse Cretaceous forest fauna.
