Amber insect fossils form when insects become trapped in sticky tree resin, which then hardens over time. This resin protects the insect from decay, preserving intricate details like wings, legs, and even tiny hairs. Over millions of years, the resin fossilizes into amber, creating a perfect time capsule of prehistoric life.

These fossils provide invaluable insights into ancient ecosystems, helping scientists study extinct species and even prehistoric behaviors.
