List of 6-letter Insects that contain U

    1

    Bedbug

    Cimex lectularius

    A small reddish-brown blood-feeding insect that hides in mattresses and furniture by day, emerging at night to feed on sleeping humans — making a global comeback since the 2000s after near-eradication in the mid-20th century.

    2

    Locust

    Schistocerca gregaria (desert); Locusta migratoria (migratory)

    A grasshopper that has transformed into the swarming phase — physiologically distinct from its solitary form, capable of forming billion-strong swarms that devastate agriculture across continents.

    3

    Punkie

    Ceratopogonidae (family); regional name often refers to Culicoides spp.

    A regional Northeastern U.S. name for tiny biting midges, especially common in coastal Maine and the Maritime provinces — small enough to bite through screens and disproportionately painful for their size.
