Data from: A cretaceous fly trap? Remarkable abdominal modification in a fossil wasp

The dataset contains all original .TIF format photos of the CT scanning
data about Cretaceous Sirenobethylid wasp, No. CNU-HYM-MA2015119. Number
of the TIFF images is 1718. Volume rendering and 3D
reconstruction were performed using the open-source software Drishti 2.4
[1], made by the Australian National University. The specimen was
collected from Noije Bum hill, about 18 km southwest of Tanai Village in
the Hukawng Valley, northern Myanmar (26° 21' 33.41" N, 96°
43' 11.88" E) [2, 3]. All amber specimens are stored in the Key
Lab of Insect Evolution and Environmental Changes, College of Life
Sciences, Capital Normal University (CNUB; Dong Ren, Curator), Beijing,
China [4, 5]. References: Limaye A. 2012 Drishti: a volume exploration and
