today I made with my students some amber investgation; attached four pictures. Am I correct with my expectation about the identity of these flies et al? (1) a dolichopodid male and ceratopogonid male (2) smaller ceratopogogonid enlarged (3) a grooup of three: a spider (web or ground) a dolichopodid and a larva (4) enlarged a larva of probably beetle (between a grub and leaf beetle) mwkozlowski attached the following image:  [43.34Kb] Edited by mwkozlowski on 15-11-2007 12:08 very general entomologist |

I think you are right on all counts but I think the ceratopogonid probably is a chironomid. I'd say the beetle larvae is (near?) Chrysomelidae.

the spider seems to be a mygalomorph - a small one. |

Pic. 2 is a chronomid: look at the scutellum which has a central longitudinal ridge, absent in Ceratopogonidae. And the thorax is arched over the head. |
