This Burmese amber with caddisfly Trichoptera inclusion preserves a fossil caddisfly encased in Cretaceous Burmese amber, with delicate wings, long antennae, legs, and body structures that allow direct observation of its morphology. Caddisflies are closely associated with freshwater environments, as their larvae are primarily aquatic. This inclusion documents the early diversity of Trichoptera and provides insight into ancient freshwater habitats and surrounding forest ecosystems during the age of dinosaurs.
