The dark patches shown left are the ancient newborn insects, which were found perfectly preserved in ancient amber.
The zoomed in images on the right show an egg burster, a small tool used by insects to smash out of their eggs

The insects became trapped in the sticky resin 130 million years ago, shortly after bursting through the shell – and scientists aren’t sure how the creatures met their grisly fate.
...
My guess is they became trapped in sticky tree resin.

Useless! We need them trapped in amber after they suck on dino blood!

No roaches? Guess they were too quick...and that’s why they continue to survive.

Even “scientific” writers are becoming illiterate.
If it comes out of an egg that is not contained within the mother’s body, it’s a HATCHLING. The creature is HATCHED, not born.
A third grade student wouldn’t have made this error in the 1960’s.

Our local 7-11 sells lollipops with crickets inside the candy. (VA)
I wonder what future scientists will make of that.

And while the preserved bugs are millions of years apart from their modern relative the green lacewing, the pair's egg bursters are remarkably similar. They shouldn't be after 130 Million Years.
Doh!

My questions are:
130 million years ago where was Lebanon and what did the global map look like?
Also what was the climate like and has it changed? Why?

No insect hatches from an egg.
An adult insect is preceeded by a larvae that at some time past hatched from the egg. The larval form grows and then is metamorphised into an adult. Larvae grow. Adult insects do not
