I was looking it up, and there were actually prehistoric insects with beaks. Paramegasecoptera are an extinct order of moderate to large-sized Palaeozoic insects. Despite their very early appearance in the insect fossil record, they represent a specialised group of Palaeodictyopteroidea (Palaeozoic beaked insects), unique among representatives of that group in having evolved the ability to fold their wings over their thorax and abdomen in a manner similar to, but not homologous with, the Neopteran insects.
