Lepidopteran research[edit]
- Heikkilä et al. (2023) revise purported bombycoid fossil record, reporting that the earliest fossil material that can be assigned to the superfamily with certainty dates to the middle Miocene, while the majority of purported fossil bombycoids lack definitive bombycoid characters.[3]

Dipteran research[edit]

Orthopteran research[edit]
- Woodrow, Celiker & Montealegre-Z (2023) study the anatomy of ears and forewings of a specimen of Eomortoniellus handlirschi from the Eocene Baltic amber, estimate the calling song frequency in E. handlirschi, interpret its ear as tuned to the male song frequency but also capable of hearing higher-frequency sounds, and consider this to be possible adaptation to eavesdropping on bat echolocating calls.[61]

Coleopteran research[edit]
- Evidence from feathers and larval molts preserved in the Albian amber from the San Just, El Soplao and Peñacerrada I outcrops (Spain), indicating that Cretaceous beetle larvae fed on feathers of avian or nonavian theropods, is presented by Peñalver et al. (2023).[170]
- Li et al. (2023) interpret Notocupes as a close relative of the family Cupedidae rather than an ommatid.[171]
- Alleged specimen of the extant species Tetracha carolina reported from the Eocene Baltic amber (Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia) by Horn (1906)[172] is reinterpreted as a specimen of Palaeoiresina cassolai by Schmidt et al. (2023).[173]
- The first known close relative of the Neotropical genus Eohomopterus from the Old World is reported from the Eocene Rovno amber (Ukraine) by Kirichenko-Babko & Perkovsky (2023).[174]
- Possible haliplid larvae are described from the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar by Linhart et al. (2023).[175]
- Jenkins Shaw, Solodovnikov & Perkovsky (2023) report the discovery of a member of the genus Trichophya (related to the extant species Trichophya antennalis and distinct from Trichophya minor from the amber from Myanmar) from the Upper Cretaceous Taimyr amber from Yantardakh (Russia), documenting the existence of two morphologically different species groups of Trichophya in the Cretaceous.[176]
- The first fossil of a member of the genus Proteinus reported to date is described from the Eocene Baltic amber from Denmark by Jenkins Shaw, Bai & Solodovnikov (2023).[177]
- Cifuentes-Ruiz et al. (2023) describe an indeterminate ptinid specimen representing the first biological inclusion the Cenomanian amber from the Dexter Member of the Woodbine Group (Texas, United States) reported to date.[178]
- Zippel et al. (2023) describe cucujiform (possibly endomychid) larvae from the Cretaceous Burmese amber and Miocene Mexican amber, interpreted as possible fungus-eaters on rotting wood.[179]

Formicoidea research[edit]
- A study on the ecology of haidomyrmecine ants is published by Sosiak et al. (2023), who interpret the studied ants as primarily leaf litter or ground-nesting and foraging predators, find support for specialized predation in several haidomyrmecine genera, and argue that the extinction of haidomyrmecines may have resulted in a vacant ecospace that was subsequently filled by members of modern ant lineages with trap-jaw like morphology and behavior.[228]
- Archibald, Mathewes, & Aase (2023) document two additional fossils of Titanomyrma species ant queens from the Green River Formation and a single queen from the Eocene Okanagan Highlands Allenby Formation. They discuss the implications of the range extension for Formiciinae into the Ypresian temperate uplands, previously considered a thermophilic ant group, and the complication arising from preservational distortion during diagenesis.[229]
- Zharkov & Dubovikoff (2023) report the first discovery of proventriculus in the fossil ants Oecophylla brischkei and Oecophylla crassinoda from the Eocene Baltic amber.[230]
