List of 12-letter Insects that contain E

    1

    Carpet Beetle

    Anthrenus verbasci (varied carpet beetle) and related species

    One of the most economically damaging household insects in Britain — the adult is a harmless tiny pollen-feeder, but its larvae are the notorious "woolly bears" that devour wool carpets, stored clothing, taxidermy specimens, and museum collections; infestations can destroy irreplaceable textiles within months.

    2

    Ground Beetle

    Carabus violaceus

    A large, fast-moving, predatory beetle that hunts at night — one of the gardener's best allies, consuming slugs, aphids, and other pests by the thousand, and a key component of healthy soil ecosystems.

    3

    Scarab Beetle

    Scarabaeus sacer (sacred scarab); Scarabaeidae family

    A large, often metallic-shelled beetle of the Scarabaeidae family — most famously the dung beetles of African savannas, sacred in ancient Egyptian religion as a symbol of rebirth.

    4

    Water Strider

    Gerris lacustris

    An insect that walks on the surface film of still or slow-moving water using hydrophobic leg hairs that trap air — an iconic example of surface-tension locomotion and a model organism for materials science research.
