Charming Dragonfly larvae Trio from the Miocene of Italy

Libellula (dragonfly “skimmer”)

Age: Upper Miocene
Size: The plate size is 3 1/2” x 3 1/4”. The individuals are 5/8” to 3/4” in length.
Fossil Location: Piedmont area, Italy
Comments: According to the dealer that I acquired this insect plate from, there is only one collector of these lovely dragonfly larvae. He has access to a special shale outcrop in the foothills of the Alps where he quarries them.
The thin plate has three complete specimens aesthetically arranged. The detail is excellent, with eye-catching visual appeal.
Libellula is a genus of dragonflies, commonly called Skimmers. Many of the members of this genus are brightly colored or have banded wings.
