Hymenoptera species were observed and identified in foldscope.
Hymenoptera
is a large order of insects, comprising the sawflies, wasps, bees, and ants. Over 150,000 living species of Hymenoptera have been described (Mayhew 2007; Janke et al., 2007) in addition to over 2,000 extinct ones (Aguiar et al., 2013).
Hymenopterans range in size from very small to large insects, and usually have two pairs of wings. Their mouthparts are adapted for chewing, with well-developed mandibles (ectognathous mouthparts). Many species have further developed the mouthparts into a lengthy proboscis, with which they can drink liquids, such as nectar. They have large compound eyes, and typically three simple eyes, ocelli.
