In their frenzy to escape entrapment in resin, insects will sometimes manage to disengage themselves by sacrificing
parts of their bodies,like legs or wings. All that remains in this specimen of amber of its temporary captive insect are
the wings it left behind. The wing shape and the distinctly preserved patterns of the wing venation indicates that they
probably belonged to a member of the order Neuroptera, which includes various predaceous insects like dusty-wings,
antlions, and lacewings. These wings make a particularly beautiful composition in this amber specimen. Mag~ 20 X
