#AN145

This praying mantis, perfectly preserved in a piece of pristine amber, is
estimated to be between 23 million to 33.9 million years old. It was found
in the Dominican Republic and sold at auction for $6000 in 2016 (which

about such things). Pictures are from Heritage Auctions.

Kris: " I can't type what I said when I saw this scary creature.
Instead I'll say OMG how hideous! Scares me to death!"
Steve: @ Kris "Do you think when a scorpion sees a human being it thinks the same thing?"
Sunny: "I thought it was a black lobster when I first saw it.
Wonder how it would taste boiled up with butter?"
