Many Cretaceous insects can be identified to at least family by an entomologist because maybe half of the modern insect families appeared during the Cretaceous.  However, some now-extinct groups also existed then so identifying this one might require the expertise of a paleoentomologist.  In any case some collectors like a mystery and pick up unidentified specimens on the chance that it might turn out to be something unusual.
