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.

Fun fact I picked up not too long ago: genetically, mantises are closer relatives to cockroaches than other insects. Lots of people have assumed that they were related to grasshoppers (in the Hawaiian language, the praying mantis is called something like "praying grasshopper" for instance). But nope. Green, cute, cockroach cousins.
This also lead me to my pet theory that we'd not have nearly as big a problem with cockroaches if they were green.
