Products description
| Two spiders are trapped in this Burmese amber. One spider is significantly larger and shows a rather voluminous abdomen (opisthosoma). It would be conceivable that males and females were actually caught in this amber at the same time. Today's spiders usually show a clear sexual dimorphism. The Burmese amber itself is quite large and beautifully clear. The larger spider measures almost 5 mm. | |||
