Insects in Copal Amber with Insects/Bugs
These insects in Copal Amber have been trapped inside and perfectly preserved. When sap was seeping from the tree, insects, bugs and occasionally, even lizards became trapped forever. This piece of Copal Amber contains in the region of a dozen bugs/insects, plus pollen etc. The bugs can be seen with the naked eye but are even better when studied with a magnifying glass. The insects trapped inside are clearly visible with their delicate wings and legs perfectly preserved. The principal difference between Amber and Copal Amber is its age. If a piece of Amber is less than 35 million years old it is classified as Copal Amber, in other words, ‘young Amber’.
