Detailed Fossil Caddisfly (Trichopterae) In Baltic Amber

This is a 44 million year old fossil caddisfly (order Trichopterae) preserved in Baltic Amber. This 8mm long fly can be seen in very nice detail under microscope. There is a second bug associated with the caddisfly, however it's left unidentified.

This amber specimen has also been drilled to allow for jewelry application.

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.
