Baltic Amber – Caddisflies and more!

The following specimen is a large piece of amber from the Baltic region of Lithuania. Baltic amber is Eocene in age (44-50 M.Y.A) and tends to contain less inclusions than Dominican Amber. I have an incoming parcel of several exciting amber specimens that I hope to feature soon! This piece of Baltic amber has many different inclusions – 4 caddisflies, a coccid, and many flies and gnats.
