Detailed Fossil Crane Fly and Moth Flies in Baltic Amber

This piece of 44 million year old Baltic amber contains a nicely preserved crane fly from the subfamily Limoniidae and two moth flies (order Diptera - family Psychodidae). The crane fly measures approximately 8.0mm wide including articulated legs.

As a reminder, most inclusions in Baltic amber are extremely small so magnification will be needed to make out much detail. Included with your order is a physical photo of the specimen, and we will also email you a high resolution digital copy.

Please note: The market is flooded with fake amber, which is often plastics with insects embedded in it. The insect inclusions in amber are almost always tiny. Larger insects are able to struggle free and are not preserved. If you see something that looks too good to be true, it often is. Make sure to buy from a reputable dealer.
