RARE Baltic Amber Polydesmid Millipede

Description: This fine amber piece displays a rare polydesmid millipede in Baltic amber. Modern polydesmids are termed flat-backed millipedes, and are the largest extant millipede order. Millipedes are far more rare as inclusions in Baltic amber than the more common flies, beetles, and spiders. As a consequence they always command a high price. This one is priced near the lower end of the range, making it highly desirable for any collector.
