Sale Price	Description of the Specimen
$127 SOLD	1. This is a large piece of amber, it weighs 43.8 grams. Going through the middle is a beautiful amber tube. Probably formed from the degradation of a twig in the resin. There is a lot in this piece. There is an unknown Dipteran, a scad of ants and some other unknowns. Also you will find the miscellaneous twig or so. You will enjoy looking at the organic debris in this piece. Scanned Image!
$19	2. Tear drop shape to this piece with some interesting 'layering' from the resin flows. In this is a medium sized Dipteran. Good sized piece with some air bubbles in air bubbles (water). Scanned Image!
$39	3. A nice leaf beetle, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, dome shaped amber. Flat on the bottom with a nice dome shape, this piece has some very fine bubbles and organic debris. The beetle is good sized. Scanned Image!
$38	4. This specimen has a lot of 25 million year old air bubbles! A beetle, Coleoptera, family Cucujidae, a flat bark beetle. There are also two sheds of what looks like a spider. Interesting piece with a lot of history. Scanned Image!
$58	5. For the plant expert: 3 stamens, 2 bracts, a petiole and a sepal! Of course there is a small midge, but the plant parts are very sharp! All of this is easily seen without a microscope. Scanned Image!
$38 SOLD	6. Cool piece, shaped rather like a lopsided kidney bean, this piece has a lot. There are 3 wasps, Hymenoptera and at least 3 gnats, one of which is a fungus gnat, Diptera, Mycetophilididae - just fun to look at. Scanned Image
$186 SOLD	7. Here is an interesting one. It is a cone headed grasshopper, Orthoptera, suborder Ensifera, Family Tettigoniidae, subfamily Copiphorinae - the first one I have ever seen. In perfect shape. In fact on the dorsal side is some fungus that has sporulated. You can see the spore cases if you look very carefully on the top side near the back. In front of the grasshopper is a leaf beetle, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae. The piece is good sized, about 2 inches long. This is an impressive addition to any collection! Scanned Image!
$72	8. Some plant material and a centipede. The centipede is on a 'plane' that is difficult to photograph, so the images do not come out well - but it is a nice centipede. Centipedes are unusual in amber. There is also some material from plants. Scanned Image!
$14 SOLD	9. Female, true midge, Order Diptera, family Chironomidae. There is a little surface glazing on this piece. Scanned Image!
$17 SOLD	10. Barklouse, Order Psocoptera Scanned Image!
$229	11. This is a small piece of Dominican amber. But it contains a large pseudoscorpion. The pseudoscorpion is at a difficult angle to photograph - but is easier to see 'live'. These are very unusual animals and not often found. These animals are known to attach on to other, larger animals and hitch a ride to a new area. Scanned Image!
$37 SOLD	12. This is an interesting piece of amber. Large, a couple of inches and clear. It contains a small beetle, Coleoptera that apparently got caught in a spider web (you can see the web, but you must look hard). Great price for such a good sized and pretty piece. Scanned Image!
$24 SOLD	13. Leafhopper, Order Homoptera, Family Cicadellidae. This is a small, but beautiful specimen. Scanned Image!
$38 SOLD	14. A straight forward, simple fly (I think), Diptera. Although I must admit, I cannot properly ID this fly. Scanned Image!
$63	15. This has a lot. Most obvious are a number of termite wings. But there is also a lycid beetle, Lycidae, a male spider, a minute fungus beetle, Corylophidae, and even more. Some are hard to see, but there. Scanned Image!
$29	16. Diptera, family Scatopsidae, a minute black scavenger fly in a sea of clear yellow. This is a very good piece with a very small insect. Scanned Image!
$67	17. Similar to number 15 above, but not as clear. This still contains the very unusual true bug, the flower bug, Hemiptera, Anthocoidae. Also has a lot of other gnats (and wasps) scattered in one particular plane. Scanned Image!
$15 SOLD	18. A very nice, unknown beetle, Coleoptera. 1.3 cm x 1.2cm x .8mm Scanned Image!
$82	19. Nice sized piece of amber that has a nasute caste termite. There are a number of other animals, an unknown beetle and a few other non-ID'd animals. This is a fun piece. You can even see some layering from successive resin flows. Scanned Image!
$33	20. This is a different type of planthopper - maybe a nymph. The legs are different - it is difficult to specifically ID, Homoptera, Fulgoridea. Scanned Image!
$21	21. This has a thrips, but the good thing about this specimen is that it contains a small stem of a leaf or similar plant material. On the stem is a small planthopper, Homoptera, Super family Fulgoroidea. Scanned Image!
$41	22. This is a cool piece, very clear with some good looking organic debris in it. There is a single, nice, scaly barklouse near one side, Psocoptera, Lepidopsocidae - just a good piece. Scanned Image!
$113	23. Just a great cricket, Orthoptera jumping along a sea of 25 million year old air bubbles. Easy to see with some great detail about the animal. Good price for a cricket. Scanned Image!
$18 SOLD	24. Scaly Barklouse, Order Psocoptera, family Lepidopsocidae Scanned Image!
$69 SOLD	25. Very clear piece of amber. This contains a fungus gnat, Diptera, Mycetophilidae, also a large, unknown fly. Scanned Image!
$1199 SOLD	26. Here is a true bug, Hemiptera, Family Reduviidae, Emesinae - this is an assassin bug. The antennae are so easy to see in this animal, along with the three-segmented proboscis. The forelegs have developed into highly differentiated raptorial legs. These bugs prefer to prey on other insects, which they pierce, paralyze and subsequently feed on by sucking. Assassin bugs are rare in Dominican amber. I am going to take a guess and say this this is a Collarhamphus mixtus. I cannot say enough about this piece, it is perfect with the rarest of rare animals. This is as good as they get. There is also another type of assassin bug at this page. Scanned Image!
$48 SOLD	27. I am not sure what this is...a bark beetle, Coleoptera, Platypodidae? Interesting "hairs" at the ends. If you know your beetles, I am sure this will just jump out at you (no pun intended). Scanned Image!
$65	28. Great piece with a large leaf beetle, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae. This is a beauty. A good piece for someone's collection.
$58 SOLD	29. A very nice and clear piece of amber. This has a fly, Diptera, Dixidae and also an unknown beetle. This is a nice piece. Scanned Image!
$98	30. Great piece, large and lots in it. The type you will take out to show someone. Contains a couple of ants, one full, one single head (probably from a fight), some nice looking flies and a bunch of other animals we did not even try to ID. Scanned Image!
