Geometrid caterpillar in Eocene Baltic amber (Lepidoptera, Geometridae). [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractLepidoptera have little fossilization potential due to the presence of delicate structures and hence are exceptional findings, even in ambers that allow their preservation in sufficient detail for interpretation. From Eocene Baltic amber, the volumetrically largest known deposit of amber, there has been no reliable report of any member of the ...
