EDITORS COMMENTS
A shed earwig skin, perfectly preserved in a bubble of ancient Baltic amber, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of prehistoric invertebrates. This remarkable specimen, hailing from the Upper Eocene epoch of the Cenozoic Era, showcases the intricate anatomy of an earwig (Dermaptera), an order of insects characterized by their long, forceps-like pincers. The earwig's skin, a testament to the incredible preservation capabilities of amber, reveals the hexapod's hexagonal body segments, segmented legs, and distinct abdominal appendages. The long, slender pincers, or forceps, are particularly noteworthy, extending beyond the body and reaching impressive lengths. These pincers were likely used for defense and capturing prey. The amber encasing the earwig skin is a natural time capsule, providing a window into the Phanerozoic Convergence, a period of intense biospheric change characterized by the emergence and diversification of various animal groups. This specimen, along with countless others, offers invaluable insights into the anatomy and evolution of invertebrates during the Paleogene Period. Dr. Andrew Ross, a renowned paleontologist and expert in the field of amber preservation, studied this specimen in detail, shedding light on the intricacies of earwig anatomy and the significance of Baltic amber as a source of well-preserved fossils. The combination of the earwig's shed skin and the amber in which it is encased is a captivating reminder of the rich history and diversity of life on Earth.
