Abstract
A wingless and eyeless tiny fossil embedded in Cretaceous amber from Myanmar is described and interpreted phylogenetically as beetle larva, very likely belonging to a cucujiform group of Coleoptera with parasitic habits, probably the family Ripiphoridae. Features supporting this are the lobe-like terminal elements of the legs and the pattern of setae on the abdomen. However the larva display specialized features differing from immatures of extant ripiphorid species, such as for instance the absence of stemmata and the presence of ventral transverse rows of spines. An earlier tentative assignement of a similar larva embedded in Cretaceaous amber from Manitoba (Canada) to Strepsiptera is not followed here. We suggest that this larva is closely related to the beetle larva described here.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
