Beautiful Natural Dominican Amber InsectStone size: 19x11x8mmWeight: 1g | 5caratsCertificate included: yesStone: AMBEROrigin: DOMINICAN REPUBLICSku: C-80-2248Based on the visible features — slender body, long legs, delicate wings, and antennae — this insect most likely belongs to the order Diptera (true flies). Here’s how we can narrow it down: 🔍 Key features seen in your photo: Two wings visible (Diptera have one pair; other insects usually have two pairs). Long legs and thin body — typical of Nematocera, the suborder that includes mosquitoes, midges, and crane flies. Antennae: Long and segmented, matching those groups as well. Wing veins: The faint but visible venation pattern is consistent with a fungus gnat (Mycetophilidae) or mosquito-like insect. 🧬 Most likely identification: A small fly or gnat, possibly: Fungus gnat (Family Mycetophilidae) or a non-biting midge (Family Chironomidae) These are very common inclusions in Dominican amber, dating back around 15–20 million years (Miocene). They lived in humid tropical forests — exactly the kind of environment where resin flowed from trees and trapped them.🪲 Dominican Amber with Insect Inclusion — Natural Fossil Gemstone Authentic Dominican amber featuring a real insect inclusion.
