New Members orangejuicy Posted Monday at 05:07 PM New Members Share Posted Monday at 05:07 PM Hello, I was looking to purchase a Baltic amber from some guy on the web but I was wondering if the stone had a mosquito inclusion or some other species ? Looks rather big for a mosquito, the stone is 4cm in length. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordWampa Posted Tuesday at 05:47 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:47 PM Probably it's some kind of fungus gnat and not a mosquito. But obviously a better picture would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted Tuesday at 06:04 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:04 PM I agree with fungus gnat. They are often mistaken for mosquitos or called mosquitos in amber. Easy way to tell is look at the proboscis. No proboscis equals no mosquito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
