For help in translating the many languages of Earth into their languages, the Vulcans have come up with names for uniquely Earth things. This is especially true for the rich animal life of Earth, which Vulcans love to study, since their own planet has had limited biodiversity for most of their recorded history.

Below you will find examples of Earth insects, how they are referred to in TGV/MGV and entomological terminology. Many names are "Vulcanized" Earth words. Alternative names for some animals may be listed in other languages, which may or may not display correctly on some computers, depending on your settings.

This page only deals with true insects, such as flies, bees, wasps, beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, moths, butterflies, termites, lice, silverfish, etc. It does not deal with arachnids (spiders, scorpions, ticks and mites), annelids (earthworms and leeches) or myriapods (centipedes and millipedes). Those may be dealt with in separate pages in the future.
