Why are there fossils of insects?

I know shark fossils are partial because they are mostly cartilage. Aside from amber, how do paleontologists get fossils of insects? I'm watching a doc on prehistoric insects. They don't explain how insects leave a print in the show.

Thanks for giving me an idea about the process. I didn't know they were called compression fossils.

It's not surprising me. I want an explanation for a dragonfly fossil. Why are you taking this so personally lol?

I wanted to know the exact reason, not just assume it's because of the exoskeleton. I don't know the answer for sure.

A good, basic answer to my OP. Thanks.

Yeah, using the phrase "cognitive" anything to refer to another person's question is actually called being a dick.
