Paleoworld-101 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 All of these are Baltic amber pieces with inclusions. Roughly 40-50 million years old. Sharpshooter bug- Caddisfly- Spider- Plant leaf- Ant- "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It definitely looks to be a Praying Mantis. They look like they're still alive and could just walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
