vermiculosis Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Dear Friends, This time i'd like to show nice Caddis Fly ( Trichoptera ) with amazing colorful eyes. This colour is not seen by eye in normal day light - only gymnasty with illuminator lights under binocular can show it. Its called "structural colour". Definition is here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_coloration Its definitely not common in Baltic ambers. Usually Caddis Flies got colorful eyes ( Blue, Green, Lilac ), sometimes Brachycera Flies and i had few times partially colorful spiders. Its nice that we can see colours after 40 million years Enjoy, Artur 2 Natural Baltic Ambers With Inclusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snolly50 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Wonderful photography, it certainly serves to make the specimen accessible. Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, also are remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. - Douglas Adams, Last Chance to See Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures of an unusual fossil. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

siteseer Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 What incredible photography (and the work afterward)! One of my friends is a biologist who works in county mosquito vector control. He collects fossil insects/spiders too, especially amber inclusions. I'm forwarding this thread to him. Great work! Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
