Burmite oddity

Not sure if this video will work or not. This is a short video of something weird I just saw in a piece of Burmese amber. This piece has had nothing done with it in months,, remaining closed up in a container with no contact with liquids of any sort. Yet, I seem to have liquid moving around inside? The insect is what I was originally trying to view (Fairy Wasp). Any idea's on this? I'm at a loss on this. I realize some won't want to dl the video, but I assure you, my computer is virus free. Just not sure how else to present this.

I think this is called an enhydros., a neat addition to your insect!!

I find it really fascinating that micro bubbles trapped in the amber have remained in there for millions of years. 

One would think that even the minutest fissures in the Amber would have allowed it to escape over time.

The oddest part of the flow, or whatever it is, is that the piece was stationary. With standard enhydros, you can see movement, usually a bubble in the liquid, by tipping the piece at angles. Not so with this one. Sitting flat, not moving, yet it still moves. Might be the slight heat from the LEDs in the Dino-Lite, but I don't know. :headscratch:
