The fossil record tells us that insects have been around for at least 370 million years.
One of the most abundant and diverse fossil deposits of insects in the world is the Chapada do Araripe plateau in Brazil. The predominate formation is the Santana Formation , and is Cretaceous in age. The preservation of the insects is generally quite good with features clear enough to allow conclusive identification of many of the specimens.
