Termite (Isoptera)
Age: Eocene
Formation: Amber Deposits
Location: Russia

This is a RARE insect in Baltic Amber. It is a large Termite (Isoptera) from Russia. Termites are insects you hear about in Dominican (Oligocene) Amber, but they are very rarely found in Eocene (Baltic) Amber. This one has very large wings that are very detailed. The rest of the Termite also has good detail. It is large, so it is easily seen in the amber piece. This is a very rare insect with great detail trapped in Baltic Amber (close-up photo is included).
