No. Insects are animals in a group called arthropods. Germs are a variety of organisms, most which are not animals. Germs encompass a number of organisms including protozoans, bacteria, and fungi as well as viruses. There is some disagreement as to whether viruses qualify as living.

Can germs jump?

Germs are not like insects--germs do not "jump". But germs have used the normal processes and functions of the human body to be able to spread more germs. For example, sneezing and coughing spreads airborne germs. Other germs can live on objects for several days. So if a person wipes their rear end after a bowel movement but does not wash their hands, then touches the family phone, dishes, and door knobs which other family members also touch, the E-Coli bacteria found in bowel movements (stool) can spread to other people and cause illness. So, coughing and sneezing into a tissue or into the crook of your elbow, and cleaning objects with anti-bacterial cleaners or wipes, can reduce the number of germs we all encounter each day. Handwashing is one of the most important ways to reduce the spread of germs.
