Collection: Insect Fossils - Fragile Remains of Ancient Life

Insects are among the most diverse animal groups, with a history of over 400 million years. Their fossils are rare due to fragile exoskeletons, but exceptional sites preserve them in fine sediments from ancient periods.

Our insect fossil collection features specimens preserved in stone, often showing wings, legs, and body structures in remarkable detail. These fossils provide unique insights into insect evolution and their role in ancient ecosystems.

For insects preserved in resin, see our separate Baltic amber fossils and Burmite amber categories.
