Lepidopteran research
- The first known Cretaceous caterpillar armoured with spines is described from the Burmese amber by Haug & Haug (2021).[3]
- Fossil leaf mine produced by a lyonetiid-like leaf-mining moth, representing the oldest record of such moths reported to date, is described from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Kaiparowits Formation (Utah, United States) by Maccracken et al. (2021), who name a new ichnotaxon Leucopteropsa spiralae.[4]

Coleopteran research
- A study on the evolution of beetles from the Early Permian to Middle Triassic, evaluating the impact of the Permian–Triassic extinction event on beetle diversity, is published by Zhao et al. (2021).[186]
- Revision of Notocupes undatabdominus and N. ? multituberatus from the Lower Cretaceous of South China is published by Li, Huang & Cai (2021), who argue that both species do not belong to the genus Notocupes, transfer N. ? multituberatus to the genus Lasiosyne, and consider "N." undatabdominus to be likely a member of the family Artematopodidae.[187]
- The oldest solid wood-borer larvae reported to date (belonging to the families Cerambycidae) are described from the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar by Haug et al. (2021).[188]
- Mitochondrial genomes and nuclear ribosomal DNA of beetles, in some cases identifiable to species, are recovered from pack rat middens from California (United States) and Baja California (Mexico) dating up to ~ 34,355 years before present by Smith et al. (2021).[189]

- Possible underwater mayfly burrows are described from the Turonian Ferron Sandstone (Utah, United States) by King et al.

Research
- A well-preserved full-body impression of an elongate winged insect strongly resembling stick insects is described from the Permian (Wordian) Pelitic Formation (France) by Logghe et al. (2021), who name a new ichnotaxon Phasmichnus radagasti.[408]
- A dragonfly-type odonatopteran larva, preserving ancestral morphological characters maintained in mayflies but lost in modern odonatan larvae, is described from the Cretaceous Burmese amber by Haug, Müller & Haug (2021).[409]
General research
- Revision of the fossil record of insects from the Triassic of China is published by Zhang et al. (2021).[410]
- A study on the diversity of insect damage types in fossil plants from the Cretaceous (Albian to Cenomanian) Dakota Formation (United States), evaluating their implications for the knowledge of the early evolution of angiosperm florivory and associated pollination, is published by Xiao et al. (2021).[411]
