Genuine Dominican Amber Fossil
Spectacular Lace Bug Inclusion
Heteroptera Tingidae Tinginae
A "Must Have" Top Quality Specimen
Complete - Totally Covered by the Amber
12.6 x 11.6 x 4.2mm - 0.370g

Tingidae are plant feeders that live mostly on the lower surface of the leaves of living plants. Characteristics of Tingidae are the thin lacy outgrowths of the pronotum and the delicate lacelike texture of the forewings. Of the ineffable wonders of insect kinds, none surpasses the Lacebugs in the diversity and oddities of forms adorned with fancy lace design.

Common name of Tingidae is Lacebugs because of the raised reticulation on the pronotum and forewings. They are phytophagous and often gregarious near the egg masses from which they have emerged.
This specimen, belonging to the Subfamily Tinginae, Genus Leptopharsa, stands out for its extreme delicacy and beauty.
