If you want a monster of a mosquito you should visit Florida, I've had "swamp pterodactyls" big enough to bite through the shoulder straps of my armour

[@BensWorx]

😬

[@rachkate76]

We have big enough ones here in Qld lol

TheLord0IceWind You claim you are in Florida, yet you spell armour correctly. I smell shenanigans ;)

@@BensWorx I didn't know you could tell the future! I loved it!

[@Pinkstinkie]

At first I was a bit disappointed that you didn't make an actual walking stick but making it into a pretty light was inspired. Now make a light up walking stick!

A light saber mosquito in amber 8)

[@noahreese2455]

Yea, I would love to see that. It could have a little on and off switch near the hand.

Thanks your spoiler alert, and just kind of ruined it for me

[@I.am.Sarah.]

@@VineyardGHS You're seriously upset because someone commented on the video in the comments section? Wow. Welcome to KZbin

[@dhd8850]

Absolutely phenomenal Ben 🎉 This is one of my favourite pieces you have done, love this sort of project most when the lathe is included-could watch all day everyday 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❣

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mand 😊

[@Yvash]

Beautiful finish as always, Ben! I think you could have afforded to go a little more intense with the dye though, amber is very richly coloured.

[@astrid6496]

It was definitely missing the yellow tint and a little more orange, although I considered that may have been intentional because of the yellow from the light in the base. It definitely was closer to the deep, rich colour when the lights were out and the lamp was on.

[@osumailguy]

Prediction for bonus video: While there may be a chemical “burn” at the tip of the match, I doubt any fire due to the “fire triangle” … fuel (match) + heat (laser) + oxygen = fire No air means no fire But still looking forward to the video

[@AuntieRoma]

I was thinking the same thing. No oxygen.

[@sawse3289]

Matches come with their own oxidizer, usually potassium chlorate

[@alazarouen6947]

All burning is chemical

[@eggstu]

Great job on the final product

[@zacharysweeney978]

Excited to see how this compares to the one Peter Brown and Pocket83 did

[@Digger927]

Pretty cool Ben nice job. Color seems a little off though, seems like it should be more of a honey color than orange.

Casting orbeez in resin would look really cool!

Wow! Some other things in amber! Ants, gnats, and something contemporary like a match or earring, to show people were there millions of years ago.

Hi, Ben. That turned out so clear. Very nice. When the light came on wow that was so cool. Love the colour too. Have a great weekend. Take care 🙂

Thanks William 😊

[@kameljoe21]

This came out cool. I like the rustic stand long with the led. Looks super awesome. I like the fact that you left a few bubbles in it. They really set it off on another level.

[@Quickened1]

We call 'em May flies around here. Hey Ben, I should have bought it at a yardsale today, but didn't, there was a resin Texas that had an air bubble right in the middle of it with a few drops of oil in it.. looked very cool. I'll go back tomorrow to see if it is still there and hopefully get it and send some pics...

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou 😊

[@CmdrGamagosk]

Wow great job! you really nailed the whole "died in the amber" kind of look. Quick science lesson for everyone, mosquitos (and anything else in amber) probably died of getting stuck in it. Before amber hardens it is tree sap, and very sticky. Anything climbing around on a tree may have gotten stuck in the goop and, if its flowing fast enough, would have been encased in it.

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate and thanks for the info 👍

[@demonknight7965]

Add to this the creatures trapped in the amber have been perfectly preserved and their DNA intact. Author I love is Veteranarian and study the research behind this for a novel.

i know it ain't an actual mosquito, but a cranefly does make a good replacement for the bigger bugs of the dinosaur age

[@lindastone6868]

Made me think of Crocodile Dundee with his "Call that a knife?". Call that a Crane Fly?

[@themitchwich]

I would watch your videos every day if I could!

[@SwiftCreationStudio]

.-. Well I learned something today. I didn't really know what a crane fly was and I see them quite often, I always assumed they were larger breeds of mosquitoes and for whatever reason I see them far less. I typically don't harm insects unless they are biting me and they never have but I've always thought "but what if" it's good to know that it won't happen so I can just let them be or let them out.
