This is an excellent insect in Burmese Amber. It is a distinct Fly (Brachycera) from Myanmar. Amber from this area is Cretaceous in age, meaning it is from the time of the dinosaurs! This specimen has nice detail preserved - you can even see the long legs, Antennae, and venation on the wings! The fly is entombed within the large, colorful amber nugget. This is a very fine insect trapped in fossil ooze (large close-up photo is included free).
