Amber
Prehistoric insects have been found preserved in amber, a hardened tree resin. The amber acts as a protective casing, trapping the insect inside and preserving it for millions of years. This allows scientists to study ancient insects and gain insights into prehistoric ecosystems.

Dead insects can be effectively preserved by carefully drying them out and storing them in airtight containers to prevent decay. Another method is to use chemicals like ethanol or formaldehyde to preserve the insect's body structure.

carbon films can preserve the delicate parts of plants leaves and insects, and preserved remains can preserve entire organisms.
Insects are preserved for scientific study and research purposes by methods such as drying, freezing, or using chemicals like ethanol or formaldehyde to prevent decay and maintain their physical structure. These preserved specimens can then be studied under microscopes or used for genetic analysis to learn more about their biology and behavior.
