Hymenopterans are a diverse order of insects that includes species such as bees, wasps, and ants. They are characterized by two pairs of membranous wings and a narrow waist. Many hymenopterans play essential roles in ecosystems, particularly in pollination and biological control of pests. These insects exhibit a wide range of behaviors and social structures. Some, like honeybees, live in complex colonies with a queen, workers, and drones, while others, such as solitary wasps, lead independent lives. Hymenopterans are also known for their ability to sting, which they use for defense and to subdue prey.
