Hi, this tiny (1 mm) insect was found in a part of an old jewelry - don't know where the amber was collected. I don't have an idea what it could be - or rather I have too many ideas. Head is a bit Thrips-like to me, antennae may be chalcidoid-like, legs are long and abdomen resembles female Nematocera for me - e.g. Cecidmyiidae. But can be just as well something else. No wings wisible to me - kind of on the edge of the amber
