That looks spectacular. Looks like a very small (part of) catipillar head to me.

Love your cab! As for the "little freak inside", a little photo rotation and I see a very tiny explorer from another planet: |

A little friend you can take with you forever It's definitely an insect (it's got six sclerotised, jointed legs), and although the mouthparts or abdomen aren't clear, it's giving off beetle larva vibes. Does its butt look fleshy? |

liveoak Thank you Patty! chris1956 You may be right Chris, Occam's razor hey? If you hear hoofbeats, don't think zebras.. electrocutus Thank you kindly, I am also very fond of amber, I now have ants, some sort of little flying wee jobbies, and my best one was a spider in Baltic too. I love how amber looks, and finding little 50 million year old creatures on top of that is just so amazing! rockjunquie Thank you! This particular piece is really pretty as it has all those bubbles of air trapped inside, very cool! opalpyrexia Thank you very much! The way you tilted it, it looks a bit like the puppy xenomorph from Aliens! Expect to see a little bitey thing popping out of its face! :-) I have a question for you, someone mentioned how one could make an image smaller in the posts or replies here, like you did there, but I was not able to figure it out at the time, they said something about looking and switching at the bottom of the window and finding the 100% icon somewhere, which I could not see. Can you try help me find that? @titaniumkid I was hoping we would have someone in the group that would have more knowledge than me about the wee insectoids! A beetle larva it is! Unfortunately those images were the best I could get due to the bubbles in the amber, and could not see much else no matter how I rotated it under the microscope!

Pat Tiny puppy! Love it. And meantime, even though I am 60, I am really still only 8, still laughing about @titaniumkid saying "Does its butt look fleshy?" and all I can think of is the image of the champagne glass on the lady's derriere..

I am not aware of any image editing or manipulation capability within ProBoards. I copied a portion of your image with CaptureWiz and pasted it into and older version of Photoshop Elements. Here are links to CaptureWhiz and a free* but fairly powerful image editor:
Paint.Net *Well, it was free when I started using it years ago. Later I purchased it when they first priced it at $7.50.

When you insert your picture, there will be a tab at the bottom that says preview and BBC. Click on the BBC tab. In that string of code you’ll see 100%. You can then set a percentage for the size of the image you want |

I love that little guy, so super adorable! He is a little weirdo, a cute little baby dude.
