This is a beautiful pair of Libellula doris nymphs from the Miocene of Italy. These unusual insect nymphs exhibit wonderful detail - the heads, bodies, and legs are all well defined. The bodies of the insects even display strong segmentation. The brown-black fossils contrast very nicely with the light-colored matrix. The insects are well presented, playing follow the leader, on the natural plate of shale. This is an excellent insect nymph double from the Mediterranean.
