This Week in Earth Science: April 4-8

I captured the image above over Spring Break with a low-power digital microscope. This is an insect preserved in the piece of amber that my son purchased for me when he was visiting the Dominican Republic last year. I'm not sure what kind of insect it is, but it definitely looks wasp-like.
