What is another word for insecta?
Pronunciation: [ˌɪnsˈɛktə] (IPA) 
Insecta is commonly known as insects, but it has numerous synonyms. Some of these synonyms refer to subsets of the Insecta class, such as arachnids and crustaceans. Others are specific to particular species, such as mosquitoes, bees, and ants. The term Hexapoda is often used in scientific contexts to refer to insects, including beetles, butterflies, and grasshoppers. Entomology is the scientific study of insects and is therefore sometimes used as a synonym for Insecta. It is worth noting that while these terms often refer to the same animals, some subsets of Hexapoda may have distinct anatomical and behavioral characteristics from other groups of insects.
