A praying mantis preserved in amber for millions of years not a sculpture, but a real prehistoric insect trapped in tree resin and fossilized into a natural time capsule.

An entire moment from ancient Earth… frozen before humans even existed.

    My god 30 million years, trapped in amber, alive? What madness lies behind those eyes? Can we only pray he never escapes his prison?

      Praying didn’t help the mantis, did it?

      So I’m hearing that being trapped in amber results in immortality. Quick, someone tell the billionaires a new cure for death has been discovered!
