The delicate body, articulated legs, antennae, and terminal abdominal structure are preserved within the amber, offering an excellent view of this ancient hymenopteran. Formed nearly 100 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period, this remarkable inclusion provides a fascinating glimpse into the diverse social insects that inhabited the ancient Hukawng Valley forest during the time of the dinosaurs.
