Authentic Dominican Amber Fossil
Extremely Rare Mayfly (Ephemeroptera)
Ephemeroptera are the most primitive winged insects, well known for their short-lived adult phase. As their name suggests (from ancient greek ephemeros: day long - pteron wing). Individual life span of adults usually lasts no more than 24 hours, with extremes between a few minutes and some days. For this reason fossil mayflies in amber are very rare. Adult mayflies are collected and eaten in many parts of Asia.
Beautiful Specimen Almost Completely Covered by the Amber (Except a tiny part of a wing which reach the surface)
