Detailed Fossil Fly, Caddisfly and Crane Fly in Baltic Amber
These are nicely detailed 44 million year old insects preserved in Baltic Amber. The amber contains a fly (order Diptera), caddisfly (order Trichoptera), partial spider (order Araneae (not pictured)) and a crane fly (family Tipulidae). The caddisfly measures about 6mm long.
As a reminder, most inclusions in Baltic amber are extremely small so magnification will be needed to make out much detail. A physical photo of the specimen is included with your order 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.
