tracer Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 i'm sorry, ya'll insect-fossil-possessors. i don't want to get too far off your topic, in that your stuff is very cool. i never really realized there were so many fossilized insects until i came here. and some of ya'll's are unbelievably well preserved. and they don't look painted on, like the stuff i see at shows and, um, well, around...

barefootgirl Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Wow!! I love everyones specimens!! Now I have something else to add to my wish list.

Plantguy Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Nice bugs with super fine details everyone! Sorry to hear about recent skeeter issues...we have a few million here as well...can ship but they dont travel well and dont like cold. Request===>I want to see one of those large German Solnhofen dragonflies...I know someone has one so please post a picture..Here's one almost complete Libelle sp. specimen I acquired awhile back. Ignore the creative scaling. I'm basically lazy and the meter stick isn't used for anything else around here so I'm putting it to work.
