A praying mantis preserved in amber for millions of years not a sculpture, but a real prehistoric insect trapped in tree resin and fossilized into a natural time capsule.

An entire moment from ancient Earth… frozen before humans even existed.

they suffocate just like when a kid doesn't poke holes in a jar lid.

That shouldn't be up to the kid, it should be up to whoever captured the kid and put them in a jar.
