Description of the Specimen

#1 An Ichneumiondae wasp (Hymenoptera: Ichneumiondae)! These are very rare in Dominican (or Baltic for that matter) amber. This is in a small, roundish piece of amber, and very visible.

#2 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.

#3 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 Cab shape, this Dominican amber contains a rare wedge-shaped beetle, Coleoptera , Rhipipodidae. Males have fan shaped antennae and parasitize wasps, bees and roaches. The scan below is from the edge so you can see the beetle better.

#5 This is as impressive as it gets. There is a flower here, you can even see the stigma. The amber is large, very clear and a perfect shape for a large pendant. This is a very impressive piece of amber - it does not get any better. This is one piece you will love.

#6 Busy is how I would describe this piece of Dominican amber. It contains two bodies of winged termites, Isoptera and a few extra wings scattered around. Good piece at a great price.

#7 This is a great specimen, very large with a nice leafhopper, Order Homoptera, Family Cicadellidae. This is a great price for the size. Scanned Image!

$183
#8 What a beauty! Talk about taking a long time to determine all that is in here. There is a scad of termite wings and bodies. But to the amber's credit, there are beetles and lots of ants and even a wasp. Even organic unknowns (2 of them.) Lastly there is a very nice mite it is one of the prostigmata mites in Trombidiformes in the Family Caeculidae, Caeculus sp. Very interesting mites.

$49
#9 This has some of the strangest animals. I am not sure on all of them. There is a mite, an unknown true bug, Hemiptera and a bunch other stuff. This is a very interesting piece of amber.

$263
#10 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.

SOLD #11 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, Empididae, an immature cricket. There is one heck of a large mite - really large. Also a springtail, Collembola, a wasp, Hymenoptera, even a weevil and a small beetle. You name it, this has it. Every time I look at this piece, something new jumps out. It one of those pieces that just goes on and on and on.

#13 An interesting true bug, Hemiptera, Emesinae. This thread-legged bug is very likely to be mistaken for a walking stick (Phasmatidae: Orthoptera). There is also a moth fly, Diptera, Psychodidae.

#14 Another large leaf beetle, Coleoptera, Chrysomdidae in a perfect piece of amber. Nice and flat on one side (future pendant....) and the beetle is very easy to see. This is a good one.

#15 This is a beautiful piece of amber. It is very clear and has a lovely cab shape to it. Near the middle, just off center is an adult planthopper, Homoptera, Fulgoridea. This would be perfect for someone's collection.
Scanned Image!

#16. This is an interesting piece of amber. It has a plant part - although I am not sure what it is. Possibly it is a plant leaflet. There is also a small unknown beetle.

#17 Reddish piece of Dominican amber that contains a nice cricket. The cricket, Orthoptera, has a decomposition gas coming from what looks like the mouth area. You can see the pattern on the hind leg. Also has a gnat.

18. You are in for some fun. First, this has a large, wings spread Hemiptera, Fulgoridea - a great planthopper. Also there is another planthopper, much smaller and immature and finally there is what appears to be what we call an " inch worm." I suspect that this is not really an inch worm, but possibly a larvae of some sort - but it does look like one! Great piece, lots of fun.

#19 Nice piece with a tropical stingless bee (very easily seen), Hymenoptera, Melipodidae. Also there is some impressive layering from successive resin flows - cool to look at.
Scanned Image!

#20 Some things are cool and then some things are really cool. This is really cool. It is an unknown coprolite. My guess is that this is from a snail. Look at the pictures closely - neat.

#21 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.

Scanned Image!

#24 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.
Scanned Image!

$167
#25 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 of other stuff. This is just plain fun to look at. There is even part of a spider web. Large, 3 inches by 1.5 inches. Scanned Image!

Among 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.

#29 I always like going into antique shops to see if I can find a bargain (usually at the owner's error or something similar.) I think this is like that (for you). I do not know what it is - but it is special. If you know, let me know also.

$73
#30 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).
Scanned Image!

$99
#31 A rare Icheumon wasp, Hymenoptera, Ichineumonidae. These wasps are rather hard to find in amber. They are parasitic wasps that are particularily "tough" little critters. This one is priced to sell.
