Pig: I can't believe the mosquito in your amber is alive, Goat... What happened, little mosquito? Mosquito: I don't know. I just landed on some tree resin and got stuck... How much time has passed? Goat: Sixty million years. Mosquito: My wife must be getting so suspicious.

I’m afraid the wife will be in some fossilized prehistoric frog-like creatures’s stomach.

If that is a labium I see sticking up there, that must be a gay marriage. Males don’t have the equipment for biting.

This living fossil is very disturbing. Get it freed from the amber so it can be swatted and squashed!

Fair enough, but the male proboscis is still almost as long as the female. You couldn’t use it to determine sex — for that you look at the antennae. (Now who’s coming off like Sheldon Cooper?)

Either she’s getting suspicious or she’s long since moved on.
Of course she’ll most likely show up in a later strip in the arc, either as a fossil or as a second mosquito in amber.
