Burmese amber bug

[daves64]

Got another Burmite bug for possible ID. Roughly 1 mm in length. The wings are there, just apparently very thin & almost the same color as the amber itself. Seems to be very well preserved for being 99+ myo. Once my microscope comes in, maybe I can get better pics, but for now.

Did you find it or buy it?

Bought the amber, found the bug.

[Creek - Don]

Discoscapa apicula?  100 million year on primitive bee? Sure looks like a stinger on the rear.

Are the long thin things wings? Interesting!

The amber looks a lot different than most I’ve seen, are you sure it’s authentic?

Nice looking piece of amber and insect. I can’t be sure of the i.d of the insect though. I suspect that creek-don may be on to something with the discoscapa although the antenna seems to long for it.. @holdinghistory May be able to positively I.d. It. He handles a lot of Burmese amber

Those are the leading edges of the wings, the main part is hard to see. You can see a faint outline just inside the black lines.

The closest I've found online so far is a biting midge or a coccoidea (scale insect).
