Dipteran research
- Putative Cretaceous mosquito Libanoculex intermedius is argued to be a member of the family Chaoboridae by Harbach (2024).[45]
- Ševčík (2024) compares the holotype of Burmacrocera petiolata with macrocerine keroplatid specimens from the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar, and notes the difficulty of attempts to associate similar macrocerine forms with the holotype of B. petiolata.[46]
- The first fossil representative of the subgenus Ristocordyla within the genus Brachypeza reported to date is described from the Eocene Baltic amber by Boudet et al. (2024).[47]
- Amaral et al. (2024) describe new larval specimens of Qiyia jurassica from the Jurassic Daohugou Beds (China) and new fossil material of brachyceran larvae the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar, including larvae with morphology combining characters seen in members of the families Xylophagidae and Athericidae, and interpret the studied fossils as indicating that members of the group Stratiomyomorpha were abundant in the Cretaceous fauna and likely occupied the ecological functions which are occupied by extant members of more derived brachyceran groups.[48]
- Fossil material of aquatic dipterans, including representatives of the family Chaoboridae which are absent from extant fauna of New Zealand, is described from the Miocene Foulden Maar Lagerstätte by Baranov, Haug & Kaulfuss (2024).[49]

- Ferreira et al. (2024) reconstruct the left forewing venation of Picogryllus carentonensis, reporting the presence of the venation pattern compatible with the pattern proposed by Josse et al. (2023)[70] for crickets.[71]
- Ferreira et al. (2024) reconstruct the anatomy of the internal parts of the genitalia of a male specimen of Picogryllus carentonensis, and evaluate the tempo and mode of evolution of the family Oecanthidae, arguing that the family dates back to the Upper Jurassic.[72]
- While describing structures interpreted as a grasshopper ootheca (egg pod) and eggs from the John Day Formation, Oregon, United States, Lee et al. advocate the use of the ootaxonomic nomenclatural system for description of insect egg fossils. They erect the new ichnofamily Entomoothecichnidae to accommodate the described oothecae fossils, and the new oofamily Entomoolithidae for "fossil eggs of entomological affinities".[59]

Coleopteran research
- A review of the evolutionary history of beetles during the late Paleozoic and Mesozoic is published by Beutel et al. (2024).[167]
- A study on the diversity of Late Triassic (Norian) beetles from the Cow Branch and Walnut Cove formations (Virginia and North Carolina, United States) is published by Criscione-Vastano & Grimaldi (2024), who identify the presence of 100 distinct beetle morphotypes.[168]
- Zippel et al. (2024) revise the fossil record of archostematan larvae and describe the first archostematan larva from the Eocene Baltic amber.[169]
- Haug et al. (2024) describe new fossils of adephagan larvae, including the first finding from the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota, and interpret the studied fossils as indicative of increase of morphological diversity of adephagan larvae over time, with no recognisable losses found by the authors.[170]
- Tello, Libido & Moctezuma (2024) describe new fossil material of Onthophagus pilauco from the Pleistocene strata from the Pilauco Bajo site (Chile), providing new information on the morphology of this beetle, and interpret the studied fossils as indicative of the presence of sexual dimorphism in O. pilauco.[171]
- Yamamoto & Newton (2024) report the discovery of the first aleocharine rove beetle (a member of the genus Cypha) from the Eocene Bitterfeld amber (Germany).[172]
- The first fossil click beetle and ptilodactylid larvae reported to date are described from the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar by Zippel et al. (2024).[173]
- A redescription of Aphytocerus communis, Baissophytum convexum and Baissopsis ampla is published by Telnov et al. (2024).[174]
- A study on the evolutionary history of the family Belidae, as indicated by molecular data and fossil record, is published by Li et al. (2024), who interpret their findings as indicating that the family originated approximately 138 million years ago in Gondwana, as well as indicating that conifers were most likely ancestral hosts of the studied weevils.[175]

Dictyopteran research
- Naugolnykh (2024) reports evidence indicating that wings of the blattoid insect Sogdoblatta from the Triassic Madygen Formation (Kyrgyzstan) had the same venation pattern as plants with the pinnate foliages from the same formation, especially members of the genus Cladophlebis, and interprets this finding as likely evidence of mimicry.[191]
- Evidence from the study of extant cockroaches, interpreted as indicating that fossil cockroaches cannot be universally classified on the basis of forewing characters, is presented by Li (2024), who considers the families Blattulidae, Caloblattinidae and Mesoblattinidae to be nomina dubia.[192]
- McLoughlin et al. (2024) describe opalized casts of fecal pellets from the Cretaceous Griman Creek Formation, interpreted as the oldest evidence of the presence of termites in Australia reported to date.[193]
- Mizumoto et al. (2024) describe a Baltic amber inclusion from the Yantarny mine (Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia) preserving a female–male pair of the termite species Electrotermes affinis, interpreted as a likely tandem running pair.[194]

Formicoidea research
- A study on the diversity dynamics of ants throughout their evolutionary history is published by Jouault et al. (2024), who interpret their findings as indicating that extinction of stem ants was more likely caused by their specialized morphology rather than by competition with crown ants, as well as indicating that the radiation of the flowering plants acted as a buffer against extinction and a driver of diversification in ants.[239]
- Taniguchi et al. (2024) study the microstructure and distribution of sensilla from the antennae of Gerontoformica gracilis, and find that G. gracilis already had sensilla used by extant ants for detecting alarm pheromones and for distinguishing nestmates from intruders, and was capable of social chemical communication through pheromones used by modern ants.[240]
- Evidence of genomic data, interpreted as indicating that cultivation of fungi by ants originated after Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event when the asteroid impact temporarily interrupted photosynthesis, is presented by Schultz et al. (2024).[241]

Neuropteran research
- Buchner et al. (2024) describe new lacewing larvae from the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar, demonstrating the presence of trumpet-shaped elongate empodia in members of the families Nymphidae and Osmylidae, and argue that the empodium evolved only once in Neuroptera as was subsequently lost by several neuropteran lineages.[285]
- A probable long-necked antlion larva with dark stripes on its legs possibly representing disruptive coloration is described from the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar by Haug, Haug & Haug (2024).[286]
- A study on the evolution of the raptorial forelegs of members of Mantispoidea, based on data from extant and fossil taxa, is published by Li et al. (2024).[287]
- A berothoid larva representing the first record of either the family Berothidae or the family Rhachiberothidae from the Eocene Rovno amber (Ukraine) reported to date is described by Makarkin & Perkovsky (2024).[288]

Hemipteran research
- Purported reduvioid cimicomorph Palaeotanyrhina exophthalma is reinterpreted as a member of the family Leptopodidae by Rédei (2024).[375]
- Souma et al. (2024) describe fossil material of Urochela cf. melaina from the Miocene strata from Sado Island (Japan), providing evidence of past distribution of Urochela quadrinotata species group in East Asia and its origin before the Early Miocene.[376]
- A review of the forewing venation in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic planthoppers is published by Bucher et al. (2024) [377]
- Fabrikant et al. (2024) describe two new specimens of Mimaeurypterus burmiticus from the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar, providing new information on the morphology of this planthopper, and interpret M. burmiticus as adapted to camouflage on tree bark.[378]
- A redescription of Bolbossus bervoetsi, based on a female and fifth instar nymph from the Eocene Baltic amber, is published by Gnezdilov (2024).[379]
- A study on the evolution of flight performance of members of the family Palaeontinidae is published by Xu et al. (2024), who report that faunal turnover of palaeontinids at the Jurassic-Cretaceous transition was accompanied by improvement in flight abilities, and interpret this change as possibly influenced by the rise of early birds.[380]
- Nascimento, Valezio & Krause (2024) describe trace fossils attributed to feeding chambers of cicada nymphs from the Maastrichtian Marília Formation (Brazil), providing evidence of xylem-feeding behavior similar to the behavior of extant cicada nymphs.[381]
