*’hymenoptera’ is a large order of ‘insects’, comprising the ‘sawflies’, ‘wasps’, ‘bees’, and ‘ants’*
.
(over ‘150,000 living species’ of ‘hymenoptera’ have been described, in addition to over ‘2,000 extinct ones’)
(‘females’ typically have a special ‘ovipositor’ for inserting ‘eggs’ into ‘hosts’ or places that are otherwise ‘inaccessible’)
(the ‘ovipositor’ is often modified into a ‘stinger’)
.
(the ‘young’ develop through ‘holo-metabolism’
(meaning ‘complete metamorphosis’)—
(…that is…they have a ‘worm-like larval stage’ + an ‘inactive pupal stage’ before they ‘mature’)
