This is an excellent Parasitic Mite (Acari) in Baltic Amber. This piece is from the Eocene Amber Deposits of Russia. This specimen has great detail - the long appendages are very easily seen. There is also an Aphid and a Fly trapped in the amber piece (not pictured). This is a very interesting group of organisms to be fossilized together in Baltic Amber (large close-up photo is included for free).
