vermiculosis Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Hello ! About 5 years ago I showed one specimen with an example of Diptera In Copula ( Mating "Flies" ) and today I have another to show, one of the better examples of copulation I have had in my "amber life". Beautiful Biting Midges - Ceratopogonidae in the last love dance of their lives. Baltic Amber from Poland. 35-54 million years old. Eocene. Enjoy your viewing ! Cheers from amber cave !

Mark Kmiecik Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Unusual position. Don't they normally mate "doggy-style"? Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine one got caught and was pushed over the other by the saps movement… but thats just a guess Edited February 22 by Randyw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
