MAYFLY
Age: 25 million years old
Size: Amber: 25 millimeters (0.9 in) by 16 millimetres (0.6 in)
Location: Near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There are more than 2,500 known species of mayfly. These insects,
with their very short adult lifespans, have maintained their structures
unaltered for millions of years. The pictured mayfly in the amber is 25
million years old. Any creatures that have stayed the same for 25
million years tell us that they did not evolve, but were created. |

WEEVIL
Age: 25 million years old
Size: Amber: 12 millimeters (0.4 in) by 10 millimeters (0.3 in)
Location: Near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Weevils, which are part of the familyCurculionoidea with its
more than 60,000 species, are insects that damage crops.
Millions-of-years-old weevil fossils show that there has been no change
in these creatures’ structures for as long as they have been in
existence—meaning that they were never subjected to evolution. |
