This isn't impossible, since humans do selective breeding for size in animals (e.g. St. Bernards and Chihuahuas) and in plants. I don't know of any selective breeding of insects (maybe honeybees?), but I'm sure it could be done.

Added entomology tag since this question talks about insects. Removed irrelevant dinosaur tag.
