This Burmese amber specimen contains an unidentified insect that resembles a cockroach but shows notable differences, including elongated legs and distinct tail-end pinchers, features not typical of standard roach morphology. These traits may indicate a related but separate lineage, possibly within ancient roach-like or earwig-like groups from the Cretaceous forests. The specimen is well preserved, allowing the unusual body structure to be observed clearly within the amber.
