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.

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