You might be thinking of a "leech"; although that isn't an insect.
Benthic is the abbreviated, general name for insects that are small yet can be seen without microscopes or magnifying glasses. The word 'benthics' identifies them as living on the bottom of shallow stream beds. The complete name is 'benthic macroinvertebrates'. Examples are crane flies [of the family Tipulidae within the order Diptera], mayflies [of the order Ephemeroptera], and stone flies [of the order Plecoptera].
One thing that flies with 5 letters is a "plane," short for airplane. Another flying object with 5 letters is a "drone," an unmanned aerial vehicle. Additionally, a "kite" is a flying object with 5 letters that is often seen in the sky.
40, the amount of letters in the word, 5, times the number of letters subtracted by one, 4, times the number of letters in the new combination, 2.
Instar is a term used in entomology to describe the developmental stages of insect larvae between molts. In each instar, the insect undergoes growth and potentially changes in appearance as it prepares to molt and progress to the next developmental stage.
