This is a very impressive insect fossil. It is a huge swarm of mosquitoes from the Leaf site in Utah. This plate is just teeming with mosquitoes - there are dozens of individuals preserved. The bugs have excellent detail, especially under magnification. There are also at least two beetles caught up in the frenzy. This is a very unusual specimen showing MANY insects fossilized together.
