This Burmese amber specimen contains a wasp with its distinctive stinger preserved alongside several additional insect inclusions. The wasp displays visible anatomical detail, including its body segmentation, wings, legs, and prominent terminal ovipositor, which gives the specimen its characteristic stinger like appearance. The additional insects add ecological context, creating a fascinating snapshot of the diverse arthropod community that inhabited the Cretaceous forest nearly 100 million years ago.
