This is an extremely rare fossil insect. It is a very detailed Bee from the Green River Formation of Utah. Ground-dwelling insects are relatively common fossils, and flying insects are also occasionally unearthed. But a fossil Bee from the Green River Formation is a true rarity! This specimen has the head, body, and tail fully intact. The textbook shape and segmented abdomen are easily seen. The overall detail of the Bee is exceptional, and the natural color and contrast are quite striking. This is very rare fossil Bee, one of the few intact Bees ever found in the Green River Formation.
