Fossil Aphid, Ant and Two Flies in Baltic Amber

This 44 million year old piece of baltic amber contains a beautifully preserved aphid (order Hemiptera), ant (family Formicidae) and two flies (order Diptera). The largest fly is about 4mm wide.

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.
