Scientists discovered a small 30 million-year-old praying mantis frozen within a pristine clear piece of amber from the Dominican Republic. It was discovered to have been from the Oligocene period, placing it anywhere from about 23 million to 33.9 million years old.

@historyinmemes Thus is why I don't believe in evolution. The form of a preying mantis hasn't changed in 30 MILLION YEARS?! The same with crocodiles, but 200 million years. Trilobites and cuttlefish too. Nope+
@historyinmemes Were his prayers answered then?
@historyinmemes If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The fact it looks nearly identical to praying matises today means the design didn't need improvement.
@historyinmemes @g_knapp So, I'm wondering what stopped evolution from happening to this species? Maybe not exactly the same but sure looks the same to me.
@historyinmemes If this is indeed 30million years old, then that might be the coolest thing I've seen. We need to find a peace of amber that has a dinosaur or human in it next, that would be the craziest thing.
@historyinmemes "It was discovered to have been from..." Who wrote this overly passive sentence???
