Some insects cause allergies by biting or stinging; others cause severe allergic reactions when their body parts or feces are inhaled. Bees, ants, kissing bugs, fleas, and mosquitoes are part of the first group. The second group consists of cockroaches, crickets, caddis fly, May fly, and the insect-like house dust mites.
