Hi ,
attaching a couple of photos of a nice looking beetle found in the australian amber.
It is sitting right on a fracture making a photo hard to achive.
also not shore if that is a sting on the end of the abdomen or a leg section lying there.
any ideas on what type of beetle this maybe.?
Hes about 2mm and has the antannae out streached, also hairy.
all the best Dale
