How does this insect in amber works?

166 views

I don’t really get it. Why do they look froze in a normal situation when a liquid gets around them. I saw a picture of a praying mantis and I assume if there is like water or more sticky stuff, they would look more drowning or compressed but the mantis had it’s arm spread out and it looks like without amber.

Many of the ones that are for sale in the Dominican Republic are dead insects encased in an appropriately colored epoxy resin. If it looks too perfect, it should either be in a museum or someone paid too much for a fake.
