Name:
Butterfly (Lepidoptera, Noctridae)
Age: Eocene
Formation: Amber Deposits
Location: Russia
Size: Amber piece is 0.65 inches
This is a very rare insect in amber. It is a Butterfly (Lepidoptera, Noctridae) in Russian Baltic Amber. Butterflies are rare in the fossil record. When they were fossilized, they were poorly preserved because of their delicate nature. Butterflies in amber usually display poorly. This specimen, however, is complete and displays well. It is easily seen in the amber piece. This is definitely a very collectible fossil Butterfly trapped in Baltic Amber (close-up photo is included).
