List of Insects That End With N

    1

    Scorpion

    Scorpiones (order — many species)

    An ancient arachnid with venomous tail and pincered front claws — among the oldest land animals on Earth (430 million years), with surprising longevity and bizarre fluorescence under UV light.

    2

    Zorapteran

    Zoraptera (order — about 45 known species; common: Zorotypus hubbardi)

    A tiny, obscure insect in the small order Zoraptera — sometimes called "angel insects" — known mostly to specialists, with a strange dimorphism and a phylogenetic position that has long puzzled entomologists.
