The giant lacewing was found in 2012 by a University of Arkansas Ph.D. student and rediscovered a decade later.

Turns out the bugs from Jurassic World Dominon weren't far off from real life!

The director of an insect identification lab snagged the interesting-looking insect while he was on a quick grocery trip, completed his shopping with it in his hand and mounted it when he got home, but forgot about it for nearly a decade.

An insect found on the side of a Fayetteville, Arkansas, big-box store has been identified as the species Polystoechotes punctata, which belongs to a family of insects that predates the dinosaurs.

In 2012, Michael Skvarla noticed a massive dead insect outside a Walmart in Arkansas. The Director of Penn State University's Insect Identification Lab thought it looked interesting and took it home. However, it was not until recently that the scientist realized he had picked up a rare, Jurassic-era bug.

A university scientist is speaking out about an insect he encountered at a Walmart store in the United States that he misidentified for several years but recently discovered was a rare specimen from the Jurassic period.
