4. Moth family whose larvae roll plant tissue into feeding shelters and cause major orchard infestations.
9. Small moths with forward-pointing palps that resemble a snout; many are stored-product pests.
12. Blood-feeding arachnids with a hardened dorsal plate and a long feeding period on vertebrate hosts.
15. Social insects with elbowed antennae and constricted waists; colonies contain winged and wingless castes.
16. Parasitic wasps with elongated ovipositors used to inject eggs into concealed hosts.
17. Rapid fliers with spindle-shaped bodies and long proboscises capable of hovering while feeding on nectar.
21. Sawflies with caterpillar-like larvae that feed externally on plants but lack abdominal crochets.
22. Butterflies with tail-like wing extensions and larvae that can evert a foul-smelling defensive organ.
23. Microscopic arachnids lacking antennae; many are parasitic or live in soil and detritus.
24. Butterflies often displaying ultraviolet wing patterns used in mate recognition.
25. Solitary wasps that dig burrows and provision them with paralyzed insects for their larvae.

1. Moths with transparent wings and narrow abdomens that exhibit mimicry of stinging hymenopterans.
2. Tiny wasps that manipulate plant tissue to form galls where their larvae develop.
3. Butterflies with muscular bodies and hooked antennae; known for quick, skipping flight.
5. Small parasitic wasps often used in biological control; adults have one recurrent vein in the forewing.
6. Wood-boring wasps that deposit eggs into tree trunks along with symbiotic fungi aiding larval digestion.
7. Large moths with vestigial mouthparts and eyespots on wings; adults live only long enough to reproduce.
8. Insects with scaled wings, a coiled feeding tube, and complete metamorphosis.
10. Bees that may live alone or in small colonies, some attracted to perspiration for salt.
11. Solitary bees that use leaves or resin to line brood cells; pollen is carried beneath the abdomen.
13. Small butterflies whose caterpillars secrete substances that attract and appease ants.
14. Wingless female wasps with dense hair and extremely painful stings; males are winged and morphologically distinct.
18. Adults have slender bodies and broad wings; larvae move in looping motions due to reduced prolegs.
19. Social wasps that build paperlike nests from chewed plant fiber and exhibit complex caste systems.
20. Larvae are densely haired and spin communal silk tents on tree branches during development.
