Probable Winged Termite in Burmite - Test

Not for sale at this time. Testing Site Functionality. A large winged insect with dense, net like wing venation, which strongly suggests a winged termite (an alate) from the Cretaceous. Termite alates left their colonies in mating swarms, and the resin flows of the Hukawng forest were waiting. We say probable because that is the honest answer, and because we would rather you trust our labels than be impressed by them. Either way, this is a big, showy inclusion with wings that look fantastic under the zoom viewer.
