New Members orangejuicy Posted September 16 New Members Share Posted September 16 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 September 17 Share Posted September 17 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 September 17 Share Posted September 17 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...
