Ginger0412 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Is this genuine praying mantis amber? The photo is hard to see, but please forgive me. Praying mantis in a barmite egg If anyone knows, please let me know. Thank you so much to everyone on the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBkansas Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) Is it just me or does that not look like a praying mantis? Looks like some sort of beetle larva. Edited December 19, 2022 by JBkansas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin Lover Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I agree that it doesn't look like a praying mantis. The head/eyes are way off and, while they could just be folded strangely, I don't think the front legs look right either. Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Randyw Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I agree it's not a mantis. I'm at work now but if I get a chance when I get home I'll try to remember to look in my books... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyw Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I’m with jbkansas that it’s some kind of larva but I’m having trouble with wich one. while I’m going through my books lets tag in @holdinghistory and see if he has any ideas…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdinghistory Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Wow, that is an interesting one! Doesn't look like a mantis to me, not quite sure what it would be though. Definitely a neat piece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
