Another could be Spider (Aranha) 😉
Nick:
Oi! So, you have a picture of a cool bug — that I keep seeing here — but you don’t include the name! Any ideas?

Unfortunately, as a teacher of expats in Brazil, I’ve learned the word for another insect, “piolho” or louse.

My last comment may have made it sound like lice are a big problem in Brazil. I don’t think they are worse in Brazil than in the US. They are no fun anywhere.
Walter:
cricket = grilo
beetle = besouro
cicada = cigarra
moth = mariposa (brazilian portuguese), traça (european portuguese)
scarabs = escaravelho
fly = mosca
Hope I helped out! 🙂
Tim:
dragonfly = libélula
