4. 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.

8. 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.
