@Aceones

machar colony, geedar colony aur bhains colony shouldn’t need explanation : p there are plenty of these “animals/insects” at those places

khadda market, as you may know is a market place. “nasheebi ilaqa” hay defense ka, hence “khadda” market
mukka chowk had a monument of “mukka” at the center of round about

There are no geedaR at geedaR colony

Im more curious about names like Landhi, Korangi, Orangi, Malir, Gizri. what do these words mean? what language?

Landhi / orangi/ Gizri, Korangi are all Sindhi words. Let me refer history of these from "Karachi - Sindh ji Marvi’.
