Help with insect

Recommended Posts

  The sales description for this insect was mosquito, but I don't think it is.
Looking in collections (insects) it has resemblance to stonefly.
can someone tell if i'm right? or what inscto could it be?

I’m not an expert on fossil bugs but it does resemble some stoneflies I’ve seen in amber and pictures I’ve seen of stonefly fossils….

I wouldn't bother to swat it.

Nor would I try to extract dino DNA.

Thank you, there are two of us seeing the resemblance,
like i said i have compared it by looking at tff (collections, bugs). but given my little experience, I have asked if someone can confirm it for me.

The pictures are not of great quality - not much detail can be seen here. :(

Yes, the quality of the microscope does not help much, but the conservation of the insect helps less.
It is not well defined on the rock, somewhat blurred, the wings are hardly visible.:shrug:

Hey. It still talks louder than a rangeomorph. :)

Yeah okay but it could look better.

@oilshale Maybe it could help, the stonefly that I looked at, he included them in the collection.
