Best Answer

Insect fossils are hard to find because of the environment in which they lived -- and died.

If an insect just drops dead it needs to be in an environment which is suitable for the formation of fossils. If it dropped into a lake or river it could be eaten by a fish -- no chance of fossilisation there. If it was in a desert it would dry up and its' exoskeleton would break apart and blow away.

Insect fossils are normally found in amber, (fossil tree sap), which is very sticky when fresh, some cherts have insect fossils, (sometimes found where there were hot, silica-rich volcanic springs).
