This is a very impressive insect fossil. It is a huge swarm of mosquitoes from the Eocene ''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. This is a very unusual specimen showing MANY insects fossilized together - a very rare occurrence in the fossil record.
