hello all!
Here is a fly in an alleged baltic amber. The stone is sell on ebay. I tried to find an illustration of this shape of antenna in my books without success. Any idea of the family?

Another question: It might be a fake amber or a fake inclusion in amber. I will find out when I will get it and show to a specialist!! Here is the question: Are flies in baltic amber so rare that it is tempting to produce fake inclusions of flies?
