Insects TOOB (Safari Ltd.)

I have recently reacquired the Safari Ltd. Insects TOOB and thought I would showcase it for the Blog. There have been at least three (maybe more) iterations of this TOOB over the years, with I believe the first version coming out in 2004. At some point (I don’t know what year) Safari also released a glow-in-the-dark version of the TOOB. I originally had an earlier version of this TOOB (see […]

“If I stay very very still, she won’t see me” - noticed on my clothesline after watering first thing this morning, she’s a beauty.
Good morning everyone. Another hot one today, 35c forecast - I’m a little bit over it. The only saving grace for is that the nights are relatively cool, I leave the sliding door to the back open & the breezes come in to assist my ceiling fan, so sleeping is pretty good. Still, I’m ready for autumn. #AussieSummer #PrayingMantis #Bugs

### Massive explosion was reported from #Kakhovka, #Ukraine

Embedded within a clear piece of amber, a small praying mantis sits at attention, frozen forever in time.

The piece, which measures just slightly over one inch tall, was sold via Heritage Auctions for $6,000 in 2016.

The pristine piece of amber, which comes from the Dominican Republic, gives a rare view of this incredible mantis.

The amber itself derives from the extinct Hymenaea protera, a prehistoric leguminous tree. Most amber found in Central and #SouthAmerica comes from its resin.

#Amber from the #DominicanRepublic is known as Dominican resin, which is noted for its clarity and a high number of inclusions.

Heritage Auctions dates the piece in question to the Oligocene period, placing it anywhere from about 23 million to 33.9 million years old.

It’s an important period of time where the archaic Eocene transitions into more modern ecosystems of the Miocene period, which lasted until 5 million years ago. Incredibly, the mantis itself doesn’t appear so different from what we see today.

There are over 2,400 species of mantises today, mainly living in tropical climates. But the earliest mantis fossils, which date back 135 million years, come from a place that is, today, much colder—#Siberia.

Some early fossils even show mantises with spines on their front legs, just like modern mantises. Whoever bought this piece of amber took home an interesting piece of evolutionary #history, one that can be gazed at each day.
