This Burmese amber specimen contains both an ant and a millipede beautifully preserved together within the same piece of ancient amber. The contrasting forms of these two arthropods create a fascinating glimpse into the diverse forest floor life of the Cretaceous period. Preserved nearly 100 million years ago, this specimen captures a remarkable moment from the ancient ecosystem of the Hukawng Valley during the time of the dinosaurs.
