Authentic Dominican Amber Fossil
Two Male Dark Winged Fungus Gnats (Diptera Sciaridae) attempting to mate
Homosexual behavior has been documented in a wide range of insects and spiders but the evolutionary causes are not well understood.
A Baltic Amber stone with two male midges (Diptera Chironomidae) in the same attitude was illustrated by A.J. Boucot and G. Poinar in “Fossil Behavior Compendium”, CRC Press,2010, pag.150, fig. 188. According to the Authors “When a female midge enters a male mating swarm, males sometimes become confused and attempt to mate with each other.”
