If you like beetles, this is the ultimate! And while
it is very expensive, this is VERY unusual. It is the largest
tumbling flower beetle ever discovered. The amber itself is
rather large. It is really as big
as they get. This big guy is almost .5
inches in size! It is just very
impressive. There is some very nice detail on the 'back'
of the beetle. Order Coleoptera, family Mordellidae, tumbling
flower beetles get their name because they tumble in a comical
fashion when they are being pursued. The small ones are uncommon
in Dominican amber, one this size is nothing but a museum piece.
There is also a nice, complete
stem in this amber, and part of another.

very clear yellow. Impressive for beetle lovers!

You are going to like this one.
Nice sized piece of Dominican amber with an adult roach
in it, Orthoptera, Blattidae. There are some amber stress
planes that do not block the roach. This guy is big enough to
see without a microscope. There is some great
detail about this animal! But that is not all. There is a
nice beetle, Coleoptera, and
two types of ants, one with
VERY large mandibles. All in
all, quite a piece of amber.

different types of mites, on of which is in the family Erythraceidae
and the other I am just not sure. There is a small

amber for someone's collection.

Each time you look at this, you will find more. Leaf hopper,

Just plain fun.

I hate to sound wishy-washy, but I am not
