No, etymology is not the study of insects; it is the study of the origin and history of Words and their meanings. The study of insects is called entomology. The similarity in the terms is coincidental, as they derive from different Greek roots: "etymon" meaning true sense for etymology, and "entomon" meaning insect for entomology.
