The Deadly Mantis.

In the South Seas, a volcano explodes, causing North Pole icebergs to shift. A 200-foot-long praying mantis, trapped in the ice for millions of years, begins to stir. In the Arctic, the people of an Eskimo village spot the mantis in the sky, and although they hurry to their boats to escape, it swoops down and kills several men. The mantis is then sighted in Washington, D.C., atop the Washington Monument.
