Résumé

The article includes an etymological analysis of a local dialect vocabulary in the scope of insects' names. The research is based on the linguistic material collected directly in the area and excerpted from Atlas gwar wschodniosłowiańskich Białostocczyzny / Atlas of Eastern Slavonic Dialects of Białostocczyzna/, comprising the area of Belarus-Ukrainian transitional dialects in Białostocczyzna. The description of the entomological lexis origin implies its considerable differentiation. Moreover, it enables to distinguish words of a generally Slavonic nature as well as lexical chunks/units occurring only in the researched dialects. Borrowings from Polish make a separate group.
