There's no one look to the end of an insect whose name ends in the letters '-ic'. For example, the name 'benthic' is a shortened, abbreviated way of referring to 'benthic macroinvertebrates'. The term 'benthics' identifies such insects, and non insects, as residents of shallow stream bottoms.

So there's a variety of examples to choose from the 'benthic' population. Three common examples of varied ends are those of craneflies [of the family Tipulidae within the order Diptera], mayflies [of the order Ephemeroptera], and stoneflies [of the order Plecoptera]. The cranefly has a pointed, tailless end. The mayfly has an end out of which grow three tails: three as in the word 'may'. The stonefly has an end out of which grow two tails.
