昆蟲及
kūnchóng jí
phrase

Meanings

  1. 1 (fragment) "insects and..." - not a standalone word; 及 is a conjunction meaning "and / as well as," so 昆虫及 is always followed by another noun phrase

Tips

usage
Not a lexical word. 昆虫及 is the tail of a longer noun phrase that a word-segmenter mis-grouped. ('and') is a literary conjunction that never stands alone at the end of a phrase. In real text it is always 昆虫及 + something (e.g. 昆虫及其天敌, 昆虫及节肢动物).
