This is an excellent insect in Baltic Amber. It is a large Long-Legged Fly from Russia. This specimen has incredible detail - you can even see the venation of the wings and the hairs on its legs. The fly is beautifully preserved, and the pose is the classic ''flying'' position. The fly is easily seen trapped in the rounded amber piece. This is a fabulous insect entombed in ancient fossil ooze (large close-up photo is included for free).
