List of Insects That End With D

    1

    Aphid

    Aphidoidea (superfamily — many species)

    A tiny soft-bodied sap-sucking insect that reproduces astonishingly fast through asexual cloning — the gardener's nemesis on roses, vegetables, and fruit, and the prey ladybugs evolved to control.

    Katydid

    Tettigoniidae (family — over 8,000 species)

    A green, leaf-mimicking long-horned insect closely related to crickets and grasshoppers, with an iconic raspy "katy-did, katy-didn't" night call from male wing-rubbing.
