A fossil of a rare and never before studied species of gnat, Robsonomyia henningseni, was found in a piece of Baltic amber along Denmark 's North Sea coast in the 1960 's.
It is the first time that anyone has found a fossil gnat of this genus, which were only thought to live in Japan and North America .
Today , living species of the genus are only found in Hokkaido , Japan and California .
The gnat fossil equips researchers with new knowledge about the general migrations of gnats across Earth .
If one tries to remove it from the amber, it crumbles.
Insects trapped in amber can be studied almost as precisely as their living relatives using microCT scans.
