and very visible.

This is a large piece of clear Dominican amber. It weighs 37.2
grams and is about 2 inches x 1.5 x 1 inch. There are 5
wood gnats in the piece, Diptera,
Anisopodidae. In addition to that there are 2 leaflets from some
unknown
plant that lost its parts 24 million year ago. Also there
is a small
beetle. This is a nice piece for anyone's collection.

I think this is a
caddis fly, Diptera,
Trichoptera, it could be a moth, since it was difficult to
see the
mouth area. This is a very nice caddis fly though. Also included
in this piece is a
fungus gnat, Diptera, Mycetophilidae and very an
unusual mite (good sized).

 #4
Big piece of Dominican amber with a lot of 24 million year old
air bubbles. If you like true
bugs, Hemiptera, this is a good one. This has a thread-legged
bug, Emesinae, which is
often mistaken for a walking stick. This animal still
has it's coloration, wow.

Large piece of amber - one of those that you can look at for hours,
and still find new animals. There are termites (winged), Isoptera,
fungus gnats, Diptera, Myceptophilidae, midges, wasps,
Hymenoptera a spider,
a barklouse, Psocoptera and more. Great fun to look at under a
microscope.

Here is a pseudoscorpion. Pseudoscorpions
are very small - this being no exception. They are very uncommon
in amber and command the highest of prices. This one is at
the edge of the small piece of very clear amber, and is complete.
It does not show hardly at all on the scan. Since is a pseudoscorpion
all by itself on this page - the price is VERY good for this specimen!
The amber is a round cab shape.

The scan does not show the leaf
in this piece - but it is big and VERY easy to see (you'll have
to trust us on this one). It is great. There is a lot more in
this piece other than the leaf. Rolled
up in one section is a
large beetle, a number of
gnats, Diptera, a dance
fly, Diptera, Enpididae, an immature
cricket. There is one heck of a large
mite - really
large. Also a springtail,
Collemba, a wasp,
Hymenoptera, even
a weevil and a small
beetle. You name it, this has it.

debris scattered throughout. The highlight though is a click
beetle, Coleoptera, Elateridae - at a very
good price.

An interesting leaf beetle, Coleoptera,
Chrysomedidae on this tubular
shape sample. About an inch long by almost half an inch in diameter.
There is also a gnat and a fly,
both Diptura. On the other side is a single
leg from some unlucky animal.

Reddish piece of Dominican amber that contains a nice cricket.

#18 This is a big piece of amber. It weighs 28.2 grams and contains
a lot of stuff. It does have a
nice spider, some
gnats, a
fungus gnat, Diptera Mycetophilidae, a
crane fly,
Tipulide and something else. I don't know what it is, it is
to small for a
polyxenida millipede - but I just
do not know!

neat. You will like it

This is a good sized piece of amber with a very clear interior.
The insects are beautiful. The detail will really shock you
(at least under a microscope...). There are a couple of good
looking black scavenger flies, Diptera, Scatopsidae. Just one
heck of a piece.

Not sure about this one, possibly a beetle larvae? Could be almost
anything (other than a bird).

Medium piece with a caddis fly
Trichoptera, or a moth. It is
very hard to see some details because this buy is at a bad angle
for photography.

A little bit of everything. This has what looks like a decayed
piece of twig, gnats, a mite,
strange parts of a spider, some unknown insect legs, and a bunch

Interesting piece of amber, this has a reddish tone to it. There

them is a wasp,
Hymenoptera, 2 gall gnats, Diptera Cecidomyiidae, fungus
gnat, Diptera, Mycetophilidae, some unknowns,
and even
something that looks like a spider
web that is rolled into a large strand.

Nice piece here - 4 winged ants, Hymenoptera, Formicidae all meeting
their death millions of years ago at the same time. Unusual to
get so many in one spot.

Click beetle, Elateridae, Coleoptera. When it finds itself upside
down, it propels itself into the air with an audible click. Also
in this amber is a gnat and a fly, Diptera. Interesting bit of
something that looks like tissue (I am sure it is not).

is perfect for a pendant.
