Fossil Cricket (Gryllidae) and Caddisflies In Baltic Amber

This is a nicely detailed 44 million-year-old fossil cricket (family Gryllidae) with two caddisflies (family Trichoptera) preserved in Baltic amber. The length of the cricket is about 5mm.

As a reminder, most inclusions in Baltic amber are extremely small so magnification will be needed to make out much detail. A physical photo of the specimen is included with your order and we will also email you high resolution digital copies.

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.
