10 plus insects in this one piece of Swamp Kauri Gum; including.

Beetles, Millipedes, spider like bugs, and deeper into this amazing piece; a Weta, then there is the larger inclusions in the front, partially obscured by bubbles, caterpillar or centerpede?

This piece of Swamp Kauri gum is quite dark due to being underground for so long; possible forest fire, when I found this piece; the oxidised crust was really dark, nearly black, with back light; it literally lights up from refraction on multiple air bubbles.

And yes some pieces of Kauri Gum do have air bubbles, and there are uneducated people on Trademe and social media (Facebook) who are spreading misinformation; stating that Kauri Gum has a high alkaline content designed to disolve insects, false.

What an amazing piece, simply stunning valuable natural history treasure.
