Fossil Ant (Formicidae) and Fly (Diptera) in Baltic Amber
This is a beautifully detailed 44 million year old fossil fly (order Diptera) and a large ant (family Formicidae) preserved in Baltic amber. The length of the ant is about 7mm. The ant has not been pictured.
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.
