Insects Trapped in Amber

106
This remarkable amber piece from the Dominican Republic from early to mid-Cenozoic (30–40 million years ago) contains a rich entomological scene: multiple winged insects preserved in exquisite detail. It offers a unique window into prehistoric tropical ecosystems and serves as a natural time capsule for studying species diversity, behavior, and environmental conditions millions of years ago.
