EN: insect
The general term for any creepy-crawly that makes you go "Eww!" From the friendly langgam (ant) trying to steal your sugar to the annoying lamok (mosquito) singing in your ear at 3 AM. If it's small, has lots of legs, and probably shouldn't be in your house, it's a kulisap.
A general term. Specific insects have their own names (e.g., langgam, ipis, gamu-gamo). 'Insekto' is the direct Spanish loanword equivalent.
