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
I think is rather low. I would have paid more for it. But then, I'm a nerd
about such things). Pictures are from Heritage Auctions.
