Insect fossil treasures from the dinosaur era （165 to 130 Ma） in north eastern China are showcased in this book with their silent stories. Not only their  Insect fossil treasures from the dinosaur era （165 to 130 Ma） in north eastern China are showcased in this book with their silent stories. Not only their taxonomy and morphology, but also their potential implications on natural sciences are presented here. Besides academic science,we highlight popular science by providing information on extant insects andinsect-related stories. Elegant and beautiful photos of fossil and extantinsects are shown to illustrate our stories while serving as visual arts. Inaddition to the 18 insect orders （Chapters 5 to22）, the book also covers fossil sites （1 and 4）, palaeogeology （2）, co-existinganimals and plants （3）, palaeo-ecosystems （23）, pollination and "flower" visits （24） and insect mimicry （25）. Judging by the high diversity and the large population of the fossilinsects, insects have certainly played critical roles in the evolution andeco-systems over eons, which in turn have made Insecta a highly successful class.Intended to appeal to a broad spectrum of readers （such as palaeontologists, entomologists, evolutionists,palaeoecologists,fossil collectors, naturalists, hobbyists and students）, we hope that readers will have fun while gaining new understanding andenjoying the artistic presentations. New fossil findings and further studieswill continue to expand knowledge and deepen understanding in these fields.Getting young readers of this book to be interested in these fields, we hopesome of them will be inspired to become entomologists or palaeontologists tomake their contribution to natural sciences.
