List of 8-letter Insects that contain G

    1

    Gall Wasp

    Biorhiza pallida (oak apple gall wasp) and family Cynipidae

    Tiny insects that chemically reprogram oak trees to build elaborate protective structures around their larvae — the oak apple, marble gall, and spangle gall are all created by different gall wasp species; each species produces a uniquely shaped gall from its own chemical signals, essentially directing the tree's own cells to build a home and food supply.

    2

    Glow-worm

    Lampyris noctiluca (European); Arachnocampa luminosa (New Zealand)

    A bioluminescent insect larva (or wingless adult female of certain beetles) that produces a steady greenish glow to attract prey or mates — including the New Zealand cave-dwelling species that creates one of the world's most spectacular natural light displays.

    3

    Lacewing

    Chrysoperla carnea

    A delicate green or brown insect with large, elaborately veined transparent wings and golden eyes — whose larvae are ferocious aphid hunters earning them the nickname "aphid lion," making lacewings one of the most beneficial insects in gardens and agriculture.

    4

    Stinkbug

    Pentatomidae (family)

    A shield-shaped insect with foul-smelling defensive chemicals — including the brown marmorated stinkbug, an invasive Asian species that has become a major American agricultural pest since its 2001 detection in Pennsylvania.
