Is this like, yours personally. Because wouldn't these be worth a fair bit? o.o Or am I mistaken? D:
As far as I know these kinds of fossils aren't really all that rare.
Oh yes, definitely! I would love to have one like this^^
Yeah they arent that rare, but i cant say how much this one was since it was a gift :)
Not necessarily. Insects are pretty simple creatures compared to other animals. They did change but not as radically as mammals for example.
Many sources that I found are saying that most modern insect families actually have their origin in the Jurassic.

It can't be that old because the earth is just about 6000 years old!! :V
No, seriously. That is really cool!^^ And knowing how old the little guy in there really is just makes it even more impressive!

Ah what I wouldn't give to get my hands on that, a good hard syringe, some reagants, and a thermocycler
looks related to drosophilla, I wonder if it is...

At least thirty million? That's incredible. Looks as if it was encased yesterday.
Oh come now. This is obviously evidence for a flood! There was once a canopy of tree sap above the earth that burst and coated all the bugs during the flood.
Though its also possible that Satan put it there to deceive us and send us to hell where we can keep him company and ride his pitchfork for eternity. :)

I was going to say that maybe you could try and clone some dinos? :P
Then I realized that 1), this is not a mosquito, and 2), this is from when dinosaurs were already extinct :P
