Sale Price	Description of the Specimen
$92	1. A wonderful sized piece of Dominican amber with a nice tropical stingless bee, Hymenoptera, Melipodidae, genus Proplebeia, along with a small caddis fly, Trichoptera and a very small unknown beetle, Coleoptera. Scanned Image!
$129 SOLD	2. The perfect piece. Large, clear, great color - ideal for making into a pendant. This also has a perfect tropical stingless bee, Hymenoptera, Melipodidae, genus Proplebeia, species dominica. There is also a small fungus gnat, Diptera, Mycetophilidae. Just a great piece. Scanned Image!
$38 SOLD	3. Like numbers 1 and 2 above, this also is a tropical stingless bee, but it is not as large and perfect as the ones above - still nice though, it is mostly the size that reduces the price on this gem. 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!
$85 SOLD	6. Small triangular piece of amber with a lot inside. There are 2 beetles, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, (leaf beetles) and another rather large, for the piece, possibly Homoptera (?), Fulgoridea just not sure on this one. 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!
$32	8. A very nice example of a springtail, Collembola. Some of the surface has a glazing so, it could use a good surface polish (on the other hand, it looks just fine as it is now.) Scanned Image!
$114	9. Neat piece of amber, good sized with some beautiful flow lines (successive resin flows before it became amber.) There are 2 female worker ants, Hymenoptera, Formicidae and a rather large weevil, Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Lechriopinae. Scanned Image!
$99	10. Treehopper - Homoptera, Membracidae. Rather a small one, but these are not very common to begin with. Hard to determine if it is a treehopper or not (not sure) but it is in the family of Membracidae. 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!
$36 SOLD	12. Small piece of amber. Even so, this is a nice piece with a good size cricket, Orthoptera in it. It does have a small amount of surface glazing. Great price on this animal. Scanned Image!
$26	13. A nice cricket that is easily seen. This is a small piece of amber with surface glazing. It is best for scientific use rather than a display of giant pieces. Scanned Image!
$88	14. A very large winged termite, Isoptera. The termite is almost so big, you do not see it at first. There are 2 fungus gnats also, Diptera, Mycetophilidae. 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!
$69	16. Great stingless bee on the center top of a dome of Dominican amber. Very clear and just a good piece - Hymenoptera, Melipodidae, genus Proplebeia, species dominica - good price. 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!
$438	18. 73 grams of fossilized resin from the Dominican Republic. This also has a half dozen wasp and a biting midge. It is about 2.5 x 2 x 1 inch in size and very clear. This one you have to see to appreciate - it is one heck of a chunk of amber. Scanned Image!
$45	19. Nice sized piece with a barklouse, Psocoptera. The barklouse is a beauty. The surface of the amber does have glazing which does not detract at all for the piece. This also has an unusual wasp. Scanned Image!
$109	20. Nice cricket, Orthoptera and 2 others - an unknown beetle and unknown Dipteran. Nice sized piece of amber, good for someone's collection. Scanned Image!
$33	21. Strange shape to this amber. Also I am not 100% sure that this is a barklouse - Psocoptera. Interesting piece though. 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!
$99	24. Not a particularly large piece of amber, but it has a good cab shape. This has what I think is one of the coolest things - a larval Homoptern. I do not know which it is, but it is sharp. There are a couple female ants and a midge and some great looking organic debris. Just a fun piece. Scanned Image!
$87	25. This is a reddish piece of amber with many air bubbles. But even the air bubbles cannot drown out the large winged termite in this amber. 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!
$218 SOLD	27. One of the nicest pieces I have seen. Large, clear, perfect color and it contains 5 of the prettiest winged ants around. They have been friends for 24 million years. This is a very impressive piece. It would be smashing as a pendant. Scanned Image!
$24 SOLD	28. Good shape (has a small nick at one end, hard to see though). This has a nice example of a thrip, Thysanura. Scanned Image!
$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!
