  • Pashto names for Insects

    As salaamu aleikoum,

    There are several things I don't know the names of. Maybe this thread will be helpful learning more about this particular subject.

    I know that cockroach is Sur Merranai " سور مېړنی "



    But what do you call this:






    I thought it's called ghumbaz.

    But what's this:

          abubakr got it right ... wasp = ghumbaza and bee = machai ... as for cockroaches we call it 'da wraghyow adai' lol and as for the crab posted by angaar, we call it 'kani kabar' but I have also heard people use 'changkh' for it. frogs is 'tsingakha' but some people call it maindaka (urdu) or baqa (dari)
