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.
