Amber with Insects (Hymenopterans - bees)
Geological Time: Pleistocene to Pliocene
Location: Andes mountains in Colombia
 Bees
in death embrace may be an equivalent title for this fine amber specimen.
The centerpiece of this large, hand polished amber is two bees, two
huge 10-mm bees, entangled in an embrace. They likely expired in this
embrace long ago in a rainforest far away, only to now be resurrected.
A superb and much smaller Hymenopteran of different family, a stingless
bee, as well as four Dipterans and a bark louse accompany our "Love
Bees". |
