FOSSIL SPECIMENS OF INSECTS

FOSSIL SPECIMENS OF INSECTS

MOSQUITO (above left) Age: 25 million years Period: Oligocene Location: Dominican Republic The mosquito is an insect with a great many miraculous features. The characteristics it possesses, during its larval and pupal stages and as an adult clearly reveal that mosquitoes, like all other living things, are the work of a sublime Mind—in other words, of Almighty God. Fossil discoveries also clearly show that mosquitoes did not emerge as the result of any evolutionary process. They underwent no evolutionary changes. This mosquito preserved in amber seen in the picture is about 25 million years old, yet is identical to present-day mosquitoes. In the face of this complete absence of any change, Darwinists are condemned to silence. BLACK FLY (above right) Age: 45 million years Period: Eocene Location: Lithuania Black flies are members of the Simuliidae family. Some 1,800 species have been identified to date. These flies are generally grey or black in color and have short legs and antennae. All the fossilized black fly that have come to light show that these insects have remained the same ever since they first came into being and have never changed—in other words, they have never evolved. One such fossil is this 45-million-year-old black fly preserved in amber.

PEDILID BEETLE (above left) Age: 25 million years Period: Cenozoic Era, Oligocene Epoch Location: Dominican Republic These beetles of the Pedilidae family are also known as false ants. Adults live on flowers or greenery, where they feed on the plants' sap and nectar. The growing larvae live in rotting vegetation in moist environments. The fossil pictured shows that Pedilid beetles have remained unchanged for millions of years. Pedilid beetles, still identical to present-day specimens despite all the intervening years, tell us that the theory of evolution is a terrible deception. LAUXANIID FLIES AND MIDGE (above right) Age: 25 million years Period: Oligocene Location: Dominican Republic These flies, belonging to the family of Lauxaniidae, are known to have 1,500 species. They are approximately 5 millimeters (0.1 in) in length, and their wings are generally patterned. In this illustration, one midge was fossilized in amber beside two Lauxaniid flies. Darwinists hid and distorted most of the fossil record because they couldn't accept the fact these findings pointed out. Just like all other fossil discoveries made up until today, the fossils of Lauxaniid flies demonstrate the invalidity of evolution.

LEAF BEETLE (above left) Age: 25 million years Period: Oligocene Location: Dominican Republic Leaf beetles live in a great many regions around the world. They remain under stones or soil during winter and appear in spring. The leaf beetle illustrated is approximately 25 million years old. The fact that leaf beetles living today are exactly identical to those that lived 25 million years ago refutes the theory of evolution. JUMPING GROUND BUG AND GALL GNAT (above right) Age: 25 million years Period: Oligocene Location: Dominican Republic Jumping ground bugs belong to the Dipsocoridae superfamily, usually live by the water and move very rapidly. Gall gnats cause the cells of plants' leaves and stems to grow faster, forming round, swollen gall. The gnats' larvae feed on these overgrown plant tissues. Specimens of both insects living today are the same as these examples that lived tens of millions of years ago. These insects, having stayed unchanged for tens of millions of years, demolish all the claims of Darwinists about the history of nature and betrays the fact that evolution never occurred.

TICK (above left) Age: 25 million years Period: Oligocene Location: Dominican Republic The tick fossil pictured is 25 million years old, but is no different from those living today. One of the most important living fossils, the ticks prove once again the Creation of God. SAP BEETLE (above right) Age: 25 million years Period: Oligocene Location: Dominican Republic Belonging to the Nitidulidae family, sap beetles feed mostly on the fluids, pollen and fruits of damaged plants. They often damage fruits by digging themselves in beforehand. Like all species of beetles, the one pictured demonstrates that the theory of evolution is a fictitious scenario. These beetles, unchanged for 25 million years, show that living things never underwent evolution and that all creatures were created by God.

TENERAL MAYFLY (above left) Age: 25 million years Period: Oligocene Location: Dominican Republic Mayflies, which spend most of their lives as larvae, are sometimes called "one-day-flies" because they spend only one day at most, as adults during which time they mate and die. In the fossil record, they always appear with the same physiological features. These insects, which have remained unchanged for millions of years, affirm that Creation is a clear fact. WEBSPINNER (MALE) (above right) Age: 25 million years Period: Oligocene Location: Dominican Republic Beetles in this order are distinguished by having up to 100 separate silk glands. Each one of them opens to the outside through a hollow hair. In this way, the spiders weave shelters in which they live. In temperate climates, they build their nests with denser silk tissues and retreat inside them during those times of the year when the weather is unsuitable.These beetles are generally found under tree bark, underneath stones and among rotting vegetation, where they construct a system of nests. All individuals in the colony can travel freely through the nests connected to one another with tube-like passages. Because of the delicate nature of these beetles' bodies and their webs, fossilized specimens are rarely encountered.These beetles, having remained the same for tens of millions of years, challenge the theory of evolution.

WATER STRIDER Age: 54-37 million years Period: Eocene Location: Green River Formation, Uintah county, Utah, USA These beetles, which move on water by straddling the surface and supported by surface tension, have thin, long forelegs and hind legs. Water striders, which belong to Gerridae family, continuously smear the hairs on their feet and so they can stand on water without sinking. Those water striders that lived 54 to 37 million years ago were no different from those alive today. These beetles that have remained unchanged for tens of millions of years refute the Darwinists, who claim that the living species emerged through incremental changes. All living things were created by the Almighty God, Who created everything.

WASP Age: 48-37 million years Period: Middle Eocene Location: Green River Formation, Uintah County, Utah, USA Darwinism thrives in an environment of ignorance, trying to create the belief that intermediate-form fossils exist although they don't, and continuously puts forward false proofs. Authentic fossil evidence discovered all around the world points to only one explanation: the fact of Creation. The wasp pictured belongs to the Eocene epoch, and by itself is just one of these pieces of evidence that invalidates evolution.

FROGHOPPER Age: 125 million years Period: Lower Cretaceous Location: Yixian Formation, Chaoyang, Liaoning Province, China Froghopper larvae produce a foamy substance on the stems of plants. Inside the foam, the larvae stand head down, feeding on the sap of the plant. Evolutionary theory cannot explain even one single chromosome possessed by this insect. Evolutionists claim that the cell was constituted through coincidences, but scientists cannot produce even one living cell using even the highest technological devices. Despite all these facts, the theory of evolution persists in the assertion that complex organisms came into being by chance. But the fossil record demonstrates that froghoppers existed 125 million years ago. The story of gradual evolution has no evidence, and exists only in the minds of Darwinists.

ANT-LOVING BEETLE (above left) Age: 25 million years Period: Oligocene Location: Dominican Republic Thanks to the palpi on its colostrum, they are able to identify the property of the nutrients and one of these beetles' main characteristics is being able to live with the ants in peace. While the ants feed these beetles on purpose, the ant-loving beetles benefit the ants with the liquids they secrete from their bodies. The fossil pictured is evidence that these beetles haven't changed or undergone evolution for 25 million years. THRIP (above right) Age: 25 million years Period: Oligocene Location: Dominican Republic Thrips, of which there are more than 5,000 species, fall under the order of Thysanoptera. They have not undergone any change since the first day of their existence, and the fossil record is the most important proof of this. The fossil thrip pictured is 25 million years old, but is no different from those thrips living today, which emphasizes the invalidity of evolution and demonstrates that Creation is a clear fact.

FLAT-FOOTED BEETLE (above left) Age: 25 million years Period: Oligocene Location: Dominican Republic The flat-footed beetle illustrated is 25 million years old. These insects, which have undergone no changes over 25 million years, expose the claims of evolution about natural history to be falsehoods. The fact revealed by the fossil record is that God created these beetles, like all other creatures. CENTIPEDE AND NON-BITING MIDGES (above right) Age: 45 million years Period: Eocene Location: Baltic States, Jantarny, Russia Non-biting midges often fly in swarms that can be sometimes up to a few kilometers long. Occasionally, these swarms are so dense that other creatures find it impossible to penetrate them. Evolutionists are unable to maintain a reasonable, logical explanation for the fact that these non-biting midges that lived 40 million years ago are no different from those living today. Pictured are two non-biting midges fossilized beside a centipede.
