A rare Dryinidae

A rare Dryinidae and two Diptera(fly and midge) were trapped in resin 20 million years ago in south America rain forest, which then became the Dominican amber that we see today.

Remarkable. Did you polish the amber and apply hot water to make it more transparent?

Very well done. These are the best images I have seen of subjects caught in amber.
I'm in Canada! Isn't that weird?

Re you using the Dimethicone / Polydimethylsiloxane directly on your objective.
I see it has unusual rheological (flow) properties. (Reminds me of "Potty Putty" when I was young.)
