Think of all the insanely cool bugs that are now extinct that we have no records of and will never get to appreciate. Nothing about living in the 21st century makes me as sad as this. How do I cope?

You can selectively breed some cool ones yourself. Just pick ones with a fast sexual maturation.

The answer to your question is to concern yourself only with things within your control.

you could go outside and try to capture and photograph bugs in a forest near you.

tons of dinosaurs, mammals, birds and fish with the same story. the fossil record is extremely patchy and there are countless extinct cool critters we'll never know existed

I live in probably one of the least biodiverse areas that exist. Is there like a biodiversity heatmap that exists?

There are new bugs now and we know about them all over the planet. Come on bud.

99.99% of all species that ever existed are extinct.
