PLANTHOPPER
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
The 25-million-year-old planthopper pictured is identical to present-day planthoppers.
These insects, which have remained unchanged despite the passage of millions
of years, refute the theory of evolution. |

JUMPING SPIDER
Age: 25 million years old
Size: 16 millimeters (0.6 in) by 10 millimeters (0.3
in)
Location: The mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This piece of amber contains a jumping spider from the
family Salticidae. These spiders take their name from
the way they jump onto their prey, leaping up to 50 times
their own length. In addition to the four eyes at the
front of their heads, they also have four small eyes
with flawless structures in immediate proximity to these,
which they use to identify their prey.
Just like their present-day counterparts, jumping spiders
that lived millions of years ago had a complete, flawless
structure. And over millions of years, no change has
taken place in that structure. The 25-million-year amber
illustrated is proof of that.

HORSESHOE CRAB BEETLE
Age: 25 million years old
Size: 11 millimeters (0.4 in) by 9 millimeters (0.3 in)
Location: Mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Horseshoe crab beetles generally live near ant nests.
This 25-million-year-old fossil proves that these insects
were never subjected to evolution. There is no difference
between this beetle from millions of years ago and those
living today.
|
|
 |
SCELIONID WASP
Age: 25 million years
Size: 17 millimeters (0.6 in) by 10 millimeters (0.3
in)
Location: Mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Scelionid wasps generally live under fallen leaves.
These wasps are known to parasitize a great many insect
species, and especially their eggs. The scelionid wasp
pictured was fossilized while flying, and is no different
from present-day specimens.
This 25-million-year scelionid wasp preserved in amber
shows that these insects, like all other creatures,
did not evolve.

ASSASSIN BUG
Age: 25 million years old
Size: 18 millimeters (0.7 in) long, 14 millimeters (0.5 in)
across
Location: Mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This piece of amber contains a rarely-seen specimen of an
assassin bug. Assassin bugs feed in a manner known as external
digestion. They release a secretion that liquifies the tissues
of their prey, after which they ingest this solution. The
toxin acts rapidly and renders the prey powerless within
a few seconds. While some assassin bugs actively seek out
their prey, others lie in wait for it. The colors on this
specimen's wings have been well preserved.
Modern-day assassin bugs possess all the same features as
those living 25 million years ago. The fossil pictured is
one of the proofs that assassin bugs never evolved, maintaining
exactly the same characteristics for millions of years. |

 |
PSEUDOSCORPION
Age: 25 million years old
Size: 17 millimeters (0.6 in) long, 11 millimeters (0.4 in)
across
Location: Mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Pseudoscorpions are actually arachnids that resemble scorpions,
but lack the scorpion's long tail and sting, using their
pincers to capture their prey. Pseudoscorpions can be found
under fallen leaves, or beneath earth and rocks. Some
2,000 different pseudoscorpion species are known to exist.
There is no difference between pseudoscorpions that lived
25 million years ago and specimens alive today. This lack
of any anatomical difference proves that these arachnids
did not evolve. |
|
 |
WINGED ANT
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Winged ants have two long wings 5 to 8 millimeters (1.9
to 3.1 in) in length. They build their nests close to
sources of food and water. These ants have remained unchanged
for millions of years.
The fossil ant in 25-million-year-old amber shows that
these insects have been remained the same for millions
of years, in other words, they did not undergo evolution.

|
 |
FIRE BEETLE, MILLEPEDE, AND A SPIDER
Age: 25 million years old
Size: 15 millimeters (0.5 in) by 13 millimeters (0.5
in)
Location: Mountains near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This insect belongs to the family Pyrochroidae and
is generally known as the fire beetle or flame-colored
beetle. Its edged antennae can be seen very distinctly
in this specimen. This chunk of amber also contains
a fossil millipede and a spider.
Fire beetles, millipedes and spiders have all remained
unchanged for millions of years, showing that living
things did not evolve from one another in stages,
but were created at once, together with all their
characteristics.
|
|
|
PARASITIC WASP AND HUMPBACKED FLY
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This 25-million-year-old parasitic wasp and humpbacked fly fossil are proof that, like all other living things, these species did not evolve. These insects have been the same for millions of years, and have never changed.
|
|
|
STINGLESS BEE
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This stingless bee fossilized in amber are identical to modern-day specimens.
|
|
|
WINGED ANTS, GALL
GNAT
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Winged ants and gall gnats, which have survived
unchanged for 25 million years, demolish the claims
of the theory of evolution.
|
|
 |
SPIDER AND SPIDER WEB
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Like all other life forms, spiders have survived
for hundreds of millions of years without changing
their structure. The spider and spider web here preserved
in amber are 25 million years old. Identical to specimens
alive today, they tell us that they were created,
and did not evolve.
|
|
|
BARKBEETLE
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Barkbeetles of 25 million years ago were the same as those
today. These insects, which have been the same for millions
of years, are one example showing that living things did
not evolve, but were created. |
|
 |
BARKLOUSE
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
We have countless fossil specimens belonging to
thousands of insect species, all of which fossils
show that they have had the same characteristics
since they first came into being and never evolved.
One of these fossils is a 25-million-year-old amber
chunk showing that barklice have been the same
for millions of years.
|
|
|
HORSESHOE CRAB BEETLE
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
All fossil records refute the Darwinists who maintain that
living things gradually descended from one another. But fossils
show that living things appeared suddenly and with all their
complete and flawless structures, and that they never changed
for as long as they existed. This clear evidence of God's
creation can never be explained by evolutionists.
One of the specimens that evolutionists cannot account for
is a horseshoe crab beetle fossilized in amber, 25 million
years old. The horseshoe crab beetles deny evolution. |
|
 |
WINGED ANT
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This amber contains a winged ant fossil. There is no difference
between winged ants alive today and those that lived millions
of years ago—one of the proofs that
like other living things, winged ants did not evolve. |
|
|
 |
SPIDER
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Spiders today possess all the features possessed by those
that lived millions of years ago. A 25-million-year- old
spider fossilized in amber is one of the proofs of this. |
|
|
WORKER ANT
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Ants are one of the most numerous species on Earth. Fossil
records have revealed that ants have been the same for millions
of years, and have never undergone any changes—in
other words, they never evolved. The 25-million-year-old
worker ant fossil pictured confirms this fact. |
|
 |
WINGED ANT
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between 25-million-year-old winged ants and specimens alive today. Winged ants that have remained the same despite the passage of millions of years are some of the proofs that evolution never happened. |
|
|
CADDISFLY, DARK-WINGED FUNGUS GNATS
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Pictured are a caddis fly and fungus gnats in amber. These
living things have survived for millions of years without
the slightest change in their structures. The fact that these
insects never changed is a sign that they never evolved. |
|
|
WINGED TERMITE
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
The 25-million-year-old amber in the picture contains a winged
termite fossil. These creatures have possessed the same flawless
systems for millions of years, and not the slightest change
has taken place in their structures. |
|
|
SPIDER AND SPIDER WEB
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
A fossilized spider and its web can be seen in this amber.
The 25-million-year-old spider and web are identical to modern-day
spiders and webs, which completely invalidates the theory
of evolution. |
|
 |
TRUE BUG
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Insects of the genus Hemiptera, of which there are
more than 48,000 species, appear suddenly in the fossil record
and survived unchanged for millions of years. Like all other
insect species, these insects refute evolution. |
|
|
WINGED ANTS
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Winged ants, which have remained the same for 25 million
years, are among those fossil specimens that show that the
theory of evolution is invalid. Evolutionists have no consistent
scientific way to account for living things that have not
altered for millions of years. |
|
 |
WINGED TERMITE
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Insect species that have undergone no changes for millions of years represent a major impasse for the theory of evolution. Species that always appear with the same structures in the fossil record are among the proofs that living things never underwent evolution. The winged termite in the amber pictured is 25 million years old, and is no different than its counterparts living today. |
|
|
 |
GRASSHOPPER
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Specimens of fossilized grasshoppers are identical to those
living today. The fact that grasshoppers that lived 25 million
years ago were identical to present-day specimens shows that
evolution never happened. |
|
|
SCELIONID WASP, LEAFHOPPER
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
A scelionid wasp and a leafhopper fossilized in 25-million-year-old
amber. Scelionid wasps and leafhoppers that have remained
unchanged for millions of years refute evolution. |
|
 |
PINHOLE BORER BEETLE
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Evolutionists cannot point to even a single fossil indicating
that beetles evolved, though tens of thousands of fossils
show that they did not. Like other living things, insects
appeared suddenly with all their characteristics and remained
unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. One of the discoveries
that proves this is this 25-million-year-old pinhole borer
beetle fossilized in amber. |
|
|
PARASITIC WASP, SPRINGTAIL
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
The theory of evolution has suffered a major defeat in the
face of fossil discoveries. One example is the parasitic
wasp and springtail in the 25-million-year-old amber pictured.
No different to specimens alive today, these ancient arthropods
point to the fact of creation. |
|
 |
PTEROMALID WASP
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Pteromalid wasps have remained unchanged for millions of
years—in other words, they never evolved.
This indisputable scientific fact is revealed by the fossil
record. One example is the wasp fossil in the 25-million-year-old
amber, pictured. |
|
|
ROVE BEETLE
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Rove beetles are part of the order Coleoptera. Alongside the rove beetle,
another small beetle has been fossilized in the amber. Rove
beetles, which have remained the same for 25 million years,
refute evolutionists' claims. |
|
 |
WINGED ANT
Age: 25 million years old
Size: Amber: 13 millimeters (0.5 in) long , 7 millimeters (0.2 in) across
Location: Near Santiago, Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Male winged ants, or drones, are sent out from the colonies in order to mate with queens. There is no difference between this 25-million-year-old winged ant fossilized in the amber and present-day winged ants. |
|
|
 |
WINGED ANT, GALL GNAT
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
The gall gnat is a species of fly smaller than a mosquito. The gall gnat fossilized here is 25 million years old. There is also a fossil winged ant alongside it. Winged ants and gnats that have remained unchanged for millions of years are among the proofs that evolution never happened. |
|
|
CRANEFLY
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between today's craneflies and those
that lived 25 million years ago. The fossil in the amber,
pictured, is one indication of this. |
|
 |
HUMPBACKED FLY
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Humpbacked flies are a very small species that resembles
fruit flies. All the fossil specimens discovered show that
humpbacked flies have always existed in their current form.
This humpbacked fly in 25-million-year-old amber once again
confirms this fact. |
|
|
DARK-WINGED FUNGUS GNAT
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
This dark-winged fungus gnat is 25 million years old, defying the claims of evolutionists. |
|
 |
BITING MIDGE
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between today's biting midges and
this fossilized biting midge that lived millions of years
ago. |
|
|
SPIDER WEB, MINUTE BLACK SCAVENGER
FLY
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
One finding that shows that insects have remained unchanged
over millions of years is this 25-million-year-old fossil
scavenger fly. A spiderweb was fossilized at the same moment
as the insect. Like spiders that lived millions of years
ago, their webs too have exactly the same structures. |
|
 |
SPRINGTAIL
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
There is no difference between springtails that lived 25
million years ago and those alive today. |
|
|
 |
HUMPBACKED FLY
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
Just as fish have always been fish, reptiles have always
been reptiles and birds have always been birds, insects have
always existed as insects. Humpbacked flies that have remained
the same for 25 million years emphasize this fact once again. |
|
|
EARWIG, WORKER ANT
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
In this amber, a worker ant has been fossilized alongside
the earwig. Earwig is the general name given to insects of
the order Dermaptera. Some 1,800 species from 10
different families have been identified. The most striking
feature in all the fossilized specimens is that, as with
other living things, there has been no change in their structure.
Earwigs have remained unchanged for millions of years, and
constitute one of the proofs that invalidate evolution. |
|
 |
PLANTHOPPER NYMPH
Age: 25 million years old
Location: Dominican Republic
Period: Oligocene
As with planthopper adults, planthopper nymphs have also
possessed exactly the same characteristics for millions of
years. The 25-million-year-old fossil specimen pictured shows
that present-day larvae are identical to those that lived
in the past. |
