Baltic amber stone with fossil inclusion – Extremely rare Ambush Bug  Phymatidae, ?Koenigsbergia. 

Ambush bugs are a subgroup of assassin bugs (Reduviidae) and have the same straw-like mouthpart (rostrum).  Like assassin bugs, they can inject both a paralyzing venom and digestive enzymes into their prey through that mouthpart, which they keep tucked underneath them when not feeding.  When an ambush bug attacks its prey, it nabs it quickly with its strong forelegs and stabs it with its rostrum.  Once the insides of its paralyzed victim are properly liquefied, it sucks them out.

2.7 grams. Measurements of stone 25x18x7mm, length of bug body ~ 7mm, max ~9mm
