[Burmite Amber Inclusion] Wonderful Neuroptera Chrysopoid Larvae With Camouflage.

[vermiculosis]

Hello Fossil Maniacs,

I'd like to share this amazing specimen. I was wait for this kind of larva really long time.
It's predatory larva of Green Lacewing, Neuroptera Chrysopidae, with so fotogenic camouflage and also probably nematoda parasitic worms ( close to jaws ).
It is in Burmite amber from Myanmar, 99million years old, Cretaceous Era.
Size of the body is about 3mm, in max 6mm. So as for Burmite amber reality, if we talk about neuroptera larvaes, not so small.

Good quality picture ------->  https://ibb.co/SRfcKH2

Enjoy and cheers from the amber cave !

PS: As always i am sorry for my not very good english.
