The vast majority of all life on earth is microbial.

It took literally BILLIONS of years for life on earth
to evolve all the way up to the sophistication of
algae.

Landing on the planet earth from some distant world,
the point in our history chosen entirely at random,
as these aliens had no idea what was going on here
when they launched, the odds overwhelmingly state
that there was nothing to greet the probe even as
"Advanced" as a cockroach.

There is a temporal barrier here, not just one of
distance.

Even if advanced, intelligent, technological life is
guaranteed to evolve on a particular world, if you
don't arrive on that world during a specific point
when that advanced life exists you are finding no
more than primitive life forms.

AND EXTINCTION IS REAL!

All species go extinct. And there's no shortage
of methods this universe might employ to render
any advanced life form extinct...

HINT:  I just said that there's not only a MASSIVE
block of time where even an exceptionally rare
life-bearing world could support only primitive
life forms but, there was be a post-advanced period
as well. You could arrive on a planet AFTER the
advanced life form was rendered extinct...

It's not 50-50.

Even if you had a 100% chance of reaching a life
bearing world, the odds of it being some sort of
PRIMITIVE life eclipses any hope of finding
something as complex as insects....

And yet, nobody is interested in searching for it.

It's by far the best chance for success, it would
expand our knowledge by leaps & bounds and WE COULD
HAVE ALREADY DONE IT!  It's not a case of waiting
for the science to catch up here. It's all about
priorities. You'd rather kill people than search
for life.
