Fossil Amber Dipteran Swarm with SpidersSwarm may be an understatement for this amber, as it contains some 80 Dipterans, as well as a nice treehopper, a stingless bee and beetle - a blizzard of winged Arthropods. Of course, where insects are, spiders often lurk, as nature red of tooth and claw plays out the constant struggle between predator and prey. This fossil amber contains the requisite spider, two of them.
