List of 9-letter Insects that contain N

    1

    Centipede

    Chilopoda (class — many species)

    A fast-moving multi-legged predatory arthropod (technically not an insect but commonly grouped with them) — its venomous front "fangs" make it one of the few terrestrial invertebrates capable of delivering a painful bite to humans.

    2

    Dobsonfly

    Corydalus cornutus

    A large, prehistoric-looking aquatic insect with enormous sickle-shaped jaws (in males) whose larvae spend up to three years in clean streams before emerging for a brief, non-feeding adult life of 3–7 days.

    3

    Dragonfly

    Anax junius

    A large, fast-flying dragonfly that migrates thousands of kilometers across North America in a multi-generational journey, an ancient predator with extraordinary aerial agility.

    4

    Tarantula

    Theraphosidae (family)

    A large, hairy spider with a fearsome reputation that's mostly undeserved — about 1,000 species worldwide, with most posing minimal danger to humans, and the giant Goliath birdeater being the largest spider species at 30 cm leg span.

    5

    Velvet Ant

    Mutillidae (family — over 7,000 species; common North American: Dasymutilla occidentalis)

    A wingless wasp despite the name "ant," covered in dense bright fur, with a famously painful sting earning the nickname "cow killer" — the female only; males have wings and don't sting.
