$ 41	1. This piece is really sharp. It is round and very clear. Inside is a single dark winged fungus gnat, Diptera, Sciaridae. On the surface are some stress points, but these do not distract from the beauty at all. This is a sharp piece. Scanned Image!

$139	7. Cab shape piece of amber that contains a pseudoscorpion. Pseudoscorpions are very uncommon in amber and seldom seen. This one is on the side (complete specimen) making it difficult to photograph. He is good though. This is probably the best price you will ever see for one. Scanned Image!
$129 SOLD	8. What a piece of amber. This has a large leaf (maybe 2 inches in length) and also a very nice true bug, Hemiptera, Rhopalidae. While there are a number of other animals here, the Rhopalidae and leaf steal the show. Scanned Image!
$52	9. 1 fly, Diptera and a sterile, female worker ant, Hymenoptera, Formicidae among a sea of very old bubbles (25 million years old). Scanned Image
$105 SOLD	10. I feel sorry for you if you are into mites. When you view this one, you will buy it. Just try not to! This is a wonderful mite with depth and beauty that is seldom seen. While I am no expert on mites, I feel that it is a family Oribatidae). As you may know beetle mites are the o>beetle mite, Brachyplina (family Oribatidae). As you may know beetle mites are the ones that carry on their backs and legs bits of shreds of a former molt. family Oribatidae). As you may know beetle mites are the o>Scanned Image!
$64 SOLD	11. An oblong, tear drop shape to this cab. It does contain a spider off to one side, but even stranger is this has what we feel are two hairs from a mammal. Hairs are very rare and hard to come buy, but this has 2. Good addition to a collection. Scanned Image!
$89	12. You will like this. A large and very easily seen leaf which hides one of the largest flies that I have seen (you can only see the posterior portion. There are also some unidentified body parts. Scanned Image!
$318 SOLD	13. You are in for a treat. This has the most perfect female webspinner I have ever seen. So much so, that we feel there may be soft tissue enclosed (if you are interested in DNA sequencing.) Webspinners are in the order Embioptera. Webspinners have glands on their front legs that emit silk to line their galleries in debris under bark. They also build their colonies on lichens and moss. When disturbed, webspinners feign death but occasionally can move very rapidly, usually running backwards. Webspinners are highly prized and rarely found in amber. Scanned Image!
$53	14. Long and thin piece of amber that has a long-legged fly, Diptera, Dolichopodidae and a small thrips. Best of all though is this contains a large mite. In fact it looks like he is carrying something (although we all know mites do not carry objects.) Scanned Image
$234 SOLD	15. Here is a museum specimen. If is an extremely fine specimen of termite (a large one), Isoptera, *Mastotermes electrodominicus*. This is a winged male in perfect shape showing fantastic detail. The termite is about an inch long. this is a large piece of amber that will draw the stares of anyone who sees it. Also off to the side is a female wood gnat, Anisopodidae. Scanned Image!
$138 SOLD	16. A beautiful leaf and 2 flies. One of the flies is large (I am hesitant to say that this is a horse fly but there is a good chance) and the other just medium in size. The leaf is half a leave because this piece broke in half. This also means that there is a part of the amber that is not polished. Because of all this you get an excellent deal (leaves are difficult to come by)! Scanned Image!
$195	17. This cab has a scuttle fly, Diptera, Phoridae and a pseudoscorpion, Pseudoscorpionida, on the side of the amber. While pseudoscorpions resemble scorpions they are much smaller and do not have the stinger off the abdomen. Pseudoscorpions are very rare in amber. Scanned Image!
$445	18. Big - 58.6 grams. This really has a lot inside. There is a lot of organic debris from the forest floor. There are also a number of crane flies and many, many crane fly legs. Each time I look, I see something else. There are beetles and even a flower (a nice one at that.) Scanned Image!
$69 SOLD	19. Here is the perfect cab. 'Lake clear' with a great color. There is a large fungus gnat, Diptera, Mycetophilidae, off to the side. Just a great piece - at good price also. Scanned Image!
$238	20. Have you been looking for an impressive ant? This is it, Hymenoptera, Formicidae, Camponotus. It is not a winged male. The ant is large and easy to see (about 1/2 inch long.) The amber is a beautiful yellow color and exceptionally clear. This is a quality specimen. You will enjoy the pictures. Scanned Image!
$167 SOLD	21. Here is another museum specimen of a wasp, Hymenmoptera. He is large and in a large and clear piece of amber. They do not get any better than this. Scanned Image!
$128	22. A lot of stuff is here. There is a great fly, pretty good sized where you can see hairs. There is a gnat, and some other small midges also an ant. The big thing here is a millipede. A large millipede. Now it is hazed by some air bubbles and 1/4 of the animal is cut off, but this is a very good specimen - rare. You do not normally find millipedes in amber. The very corner of the piece is not polished. Scanned Image!
$135	23. Couple parts to this piece. First there is a beautiful planthopper, Homoptera, Fulgoroidea, part of what appears to be a rolled leaf and finally this even has a caddis fly, Trichoptera. Good piece for a collection. Scanned Image!
$188	24. Cab shape, the amber is very clear and contains a lot of organic debris. There are 2 large female worker ants, Hymenoptera, Formicidae (I wish I could ID them, they look very nice.) This is a good piece. There is even a brave pseudoscorpion who tried to hitch a ride on one of the ants. There are more ants in the piece, but they are smaller. My guess is that the two large ants have attacked a smaller ant colony (you can see the smaller ones strewn around.) Scanned Image!
$169 SOLD	25. How cool. There must be 36 female worker ants, Hymenoptera, Formicidae who followed the leader into a pile of sticky resin 24 million years ago. They lost their life and have been entombed ever since. Just a fantastic piece. Scanned Image!
$94	26. Tear drop shape to this unusual piece. It actually has a square headed ant. These are the ants that use their heads to block intruders from the colony (what a job!). The ant is large. Of course there is the obligatory missing leg (with what looks like hemolymph coming out). There is also part of another regular ant Scanned Image!
$123 SOLD	27. You might recognize this bug right from the head picture. It is an assassin bug, Hemiptera, family Reduviidae. These are parasitic animals. In 1833 Charles Darwin, in western Argentina, was bitten by a similar insect, and contracted Chagas' disease. Scanned Image!
$119 SOLD	28. There has always been a fascination when I look at a cockroach. Here is a beaut. Large, easy to see, and just plain scary. Although this one died 24 million years ago. This is one you are sure to like. Scanned Image!
$99 SOLD	29. Lovely wasp, Hymenoptera in a sea of very clear amber. The wasp is easy to see and large. There are also 2 stamens from plants that make this piece look really sharp. By the way, there is also a scuttle fly, Diptera, Phoridae laying eggs. Scanned Image!
$143	30. Talk about large, this weighs 30 grams. Inside the amber are a number of winged termites. I would say that this is big enough to be considered a swarm of termites. There are lots of wings all over. At the edge of the piece is a cricket. It was difficult to photograph. Scanned Image!
