List of Insects That End With A

    1

    Cicada

    Magicicada septendecim (and related species)

    A loud-singing insect spending 13 or 17 years underground as a nymph before emerging in massive synchronized broods to mate and die within weeks.

    2

    Flea

    Ctenocephalides felis (cat flea, most common); also dog and human fleas

    A wingless blood-feeding parasite that jumps astonishing distances relative to its size — agent of the medieval Black Death, perpetual pet nuisance, and one of evolution's most successful designs.

    3

    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.
