Detailed Fossil Hoverfly and Parasitoid Wasp In Baltic Amber
This is a nicely detailed, 44 million year old fossil hoverfly (also known as a flower fly) of the family Syrphidae and a parasitoid wasp of the suborder Apocrita, preserved in Baltic amber. The hoverfly is surrounded by plant debris and measures about 4.5mm wide including wings.
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.
