Hello! I see this big probably mosquito (0,5mm) in Cretaceous amber.

What do you think? It seems real mosquito? I read that is unusual to find mosquitos in amber.

Thank you so much.

It looks like a mosquito to me, but having a ruler or something in the picture for scale would make the ID easier.
