Swedish Amber
nsects and spiders living on the forest floor millions of years ago got entrapped in sticky resin. Today, the resin has hardened to amber and these "frozen dramas" are visible like a window to the past. Some inclusions may have ended up together by accident, others because of their behavior. Mating couples fell into the resin. Parasites or predators were trapped together with their victims.
