Hardened tree sap is called amber.

Sometimes, isects get caught on this sap, and when it hardens, it remains with the insect inside of it, as if it were a fossil.

→ The image below shows a mosquito that was found inside a piece of amber.

Amber, is your answer.

Amber is made from hardened sap of trees, and preserves whatever falls inside.
