Fossil Millipede, Winged Termite, Aphid & Mite in Chiapas Amber
This specimen features several insects preserved in a piece of 23 million year old Chiapas amber. The insects include a millipede (order Polydesmida), a winged termite (order Isoptera), an aphid (superfamily Aphidoidea), and a mite (subclass Acari).
As a reminder, most inclusions in Chiapas amber are extremely small so magnification will be needed to make out much detail. Included with your order is a physical photo of the millipede.

Amber is fossilized tree resin that sometimes contains inclusions such as plant matter, fungi, and insects. This amber comes from mines in Chiapas, Mexico, and was formed during the Early/Middle Miocene (15-23 million years ago). The amber was produced by either the two extinct leguminous trees Hymenaea mexicana or Hymenaea allendis, both of which were initially described from fossil flowers included in Mexican amber.
