Various species of predators, such as the damselfly, make up the many insects found in Dominican amber. Damselflies probably bred in the water that accumulated within bromeliads. Approximately two-and-a-half inches in length, they are the longest insects to be discovered in amber. They were unable to free themselves from the resin because their bodies were so frail.
