[ Inclusion Inside Baltic Amber ]Rhagionidae - Blood Sucking Snipe Fly. Perfect Specimen.

[vermiculosis]

Dear Friends,

This time i'd like to show wonderful Snipe Fly, Blood Sucking Fly ( Rhagionidae ) from Eocene age. So perfect after that 40-54 million years.
Closeup macro shot i made from 30 stacking photos. I hope in future i can get equipment for making 200-500 shots for focus stacking

This fly is not super rare in Baltic amber but in that condition it is ( for that family ).

Enjoy

Absolutely stunning! Once again, your photography skills amaze!

 

(And I much prefer them in amber than biting me!  )

[vermiculosis]

Thank you Kane

I am just inclusion maniac - way to this photos was very long and super difficult. Many people before was laugh that my photos was terrible..but i was simply poor but with passion.
I can say in few words that many people in my situation  would give up a long time ago but not me.

( this is my bread )

Amazing photography! 

Wonderful specimen.

Well, you are the one laughing now.  

[vermiculosis]

Thank you friends.

Yes - Fossildude19 - i am not arogant and i dont know why people in my country especially are so rude... maybe reality made them so frustrated.

Everyone got some kind of begin. I didnt had moneys, equipment, my family always was very poor.

I had super passion but friends from my own country just "blocked" me becouse of laugh etc... now I am, i think in 5 position in Europe if we talk about amateur pictures and for me most important - amateur knowledge if we talk about Baltic amber inclusions. I am not talk about scientists. But they usually got knowledge in one, sometimes 2 families from Entomology world
Still alot for work and learn.

And for all young fossil maniac that want be "someone" in future - definitely - never give up !

Thank you very much for all nice comments.
I am cooperating with museum in Denmark and in general with many scientists.
Even ( i am sorry for showing up ) few "bugs" inclusions are with my second name ( new genus or new species ) becouse i was finder. And more to come soon. 
To be honest everyone can find in ambers something new for science. Matter of determination, ambers source and contact with specialists.

Cheers from Poland to all I am very happy that you guys are so friendly.

Yes, some people think they can build themselves up by tearing down someone else.  Yes, they are sad, frustrated people.  Perhaps that happened to them.  I'm glad you could see that and continue to strive to get better.  You are a scientist and an artist.  Many people are one but few are both.

What a beautiful specimen and the photographs are simply stunning. 

I am so glad that you can share these with us. 

[GeschWhat]

Wow! Absolutely stunning photos! 

[Coco]

Your pics are marvelous ! I have the impression that even with my binocular microscope I would not manage to see as well these small animals. Bravo to you for your know-how and your determination. Beautiful example !
