mistery imprint of a big insect
mwkozlowski
I was given this picture from a man who took it some 7 years ago from long time forotten ragg in central Poland. Could somebody try to indentify the insect; more then 10 cm long!

Yes, it' looks a joke, because the insects looks very much a bird louse (Mallophaga) and, clearly, any louse can be as big as this one!!!

I wonder whether this was an impression made by a bee ...
a solitary bee that made at least 9 cells and stocked them with pollen ...?

Cockroach (so giant?!) is rather impossible, because of the lack of pronotum. A bee is an iterressting alternative though rather impossible suggestion. I have lately herd a rationable point from my lepidopteraen colegue. For him it is evidentely a smashed body of Death's Head Hawk-moth (Acherontia atropos)! All the structures of the abdomen have here its well representation; and size also fits well.
