Amber
The tree sap is called "resin" and if it is fossilised it is called "amber".
Fossilized insects preserved in amber are actually quite rare. Insects preserved in amber are most often found near river beds and wooded areas.
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.

Spiracles are holes that are sometimes found in an animalâ??s trachea, to help them breathe. They are found on stingrays and some insects.
Amber can sometimes preserve a whole animal. This would be called a mold fossil. Body freezing is another way in which an entire animal can be preserved. Scientists have found mammoths preserved in this manner.
Freezing organisms can help preserve them because if it is frozen, then bacteria can't eat it. Scientists have also found animals that have been preserved through freezing. Insects can be preserved in amber because before it hardens, it is a sticky substance where the insects can get stuck in. So, insects found in amber are usually perfectly preserved. The unfortunate animals that were preserved in the tar was the cause of going to drink water. As that animal gets stuck, another would try to go and eat it which ends up with both animals getting preserved in the tar. (ha,ha)
I was playing in my backyard when I found a preserved tooth from a dinosaur.
