This Dominican amber with termite inclusion preserves a fossil termite encased in Miocene Dominican amber, accompanied by abundant dark organic material. Visible wing structures and body features allow direct observation of the termite’s morphology. Termite inclusions are significant because they document the evolution of highly social insects and provide insight into wood-associated habitats, decomposition, and tropical forest ecosystems of the Caribbean during the Miocene period.
