Fossil Dragonfly LarvaeDescription: According to the source that I acquired this insect plate from, there is only one collector of these lovely dragonfly larvae. He has access to a special shale outcrop in the foothills of the Alps where he quarries them. The thin plate has for four complete specimens aesthetically arranged, as if in a kind of delightful dance. The detail is excellent with eye-catching visual appeal. Libellula is a genus of dragonflies, commonly called Skimmers. Many of the members of this genus are brightly colored or have banded wings.
