Fossil Spiders, an Ant and a Fly in Baltic Amber

These are two 44 million year old fossil spiders (order Araneae), an ant (family Formicidae) and two flies (order Diptera) preserved in Baltic Amber. The only photo that's provided with this specimen is of the ant.

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.
