Lymexylidae
The Lymexylidae (historically often spelled Lymexylonidae), also known as ship-timber beetles, are a family of wood-boring beetles. Lymexylidae belong to the suborder Polyphaga and are the sole member of the superfamily Lymexyloidea. Habitat and behavior ''Lymexylon'', ''Elateroides'', and ''Melittomma'' are pests to forest trees such as chestnut, poplar, and oak, and can be found worldwide. Some species are parasitic, causing decay in living trees and damaging timber structures such as houses and ships. Wood boring activities occur primarily in the larva stage, with the larvae damaging both sapwood and heartwood. Lymexylidae larvae bore into living and decaying wood (e.g. Chestnut, Populus, and Oak) where they consume the fungus '' Endomyces hylecoeti''. Symbiotic relationship with fungi Lymexylidae larvae have a symbiotic association with certain types of fungi. The fungi grow in sheltered environments where they are tended by the larvae, such as the holes burrowed into ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hylecoetus Dermestoides (Lymexylidae), ♀ - Buchenwerftkäfer (10052316356)
''Hylecoetus dermestoides'' (syn. ''Elateroides dermestoides'') is a species of ship-timber beetles native to Europe.Norman H. Joy, , 1932 ''A Practical Handbook of British Beetles'' Description The beetles are long. The females are yellow-brown. The colouring of the males differ greatly, but the majority are black. The males have characteristic maxillary palpi in which the second segment bears a large outgrowth with many long extensions. This outgrowth and the sensory hairs with cover it may help the males locate females. The pronotum of the beetles is margined. The larvae are long and have slender, white, soft bodies. Their mandibles are spoon-shaped, and they have no eyes. The prothorax extends forward and is like a hood, and the last abdominal segment forms a long point. This spike distinguishes it from the larvae of ''Lymexylon navale'', which does not have this feature. ''Hylecoetus flabellicornis'' is also similar in appearance, but it is rare.

Burmese Amber
Burmese amber, also known as Burmite or Kachin amber, is amber from the Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar. The amber is dated to around 100 million years ago, during the latest Albian to earliest Cenomanian ages of the mid-Cretaceous period. The amber is of significant palaeontological interest due to the diversity of flora and fauna contained as inclusions, particularly arthropods including insects and arachnids but also birds, lizards, snakes, frogs and fragmentary dinosaur remains. The amber has been known and commercially exploited since the first century AD, and has been known to science since the mid-nineteenth century. Research on the deposit has attracted controversy due to its alleged role in funding internal conflict in Myanmar and hazardous working conditions in the mines where it is collected. Geological context, depositional environment and age The amber is found within the Hukawng Basin, a large Cretaceous-Cenozoic sedimentary basin within northern Myanmar. The s ...
