  1. they are incects

    Hymenoptera - incects with wings that are made of a thin membraine. and a stinger including ants

    hymenopter- (same as above)

    Insects having two pairs of membranous wings and an ovipositor specialized for stinging or piercing

    Coleoptera - incects with a hard cover over the wings

    (the hard covers are modified wings).

    Heteroptera - incects have parts of both on their wings,

    hard and membraine parts together.

    -more detail-

    The name Hymenoptera means 'membrane wings'. they are incects with Two pairs of membranous wings, although some may be wingless such as some species of female wasps and the worker caste of ants. also dragonflys , roaches

    The forewings are larger than the hind wings and are held together by small hooks (more below)

    Females usually have a hardened ovipositor, which may be modified for sawing, piercing or stinging

    Most hymenopterans have a constriction between the first 2 segments of the abdomen, which is known as a 'wasp waist'

    Chewing (mandibulate) mouthparts, although in some species such as bees the lower lip is modified to form a tongue

    Coleoptera, which means "sheathed wing". The Coleoptera contains more described species than in any other order in the animal kingdom, constituting about 25% of all known life-forms.[1] Forty percent of all described insect species are beetles (about 350,000 species[1]), and new species are frequently discovered. Estimates put the total number of species, described and undescribed, at between 5 and 8 million beetles and lady bugs

    Heteroptera is a group of about 40,000 species of insects (sometimes called true bugs, although that more commonly refers to Hemiptera as a whole) in the order Hemiptera. The word "Heteroptera" is Greek for different wings: most species have forewings with both membranous and hardened portions (called hemelytra); members of the primitive infraorder Enicocephalomorpha have wings that are completely membranous.

  2. It's all latin, except the greek bits. Ptera, means 'winged'. Hymen means membrane, so things with membranous wings, like bees, are hymenoptera. Hetero means 'both', so heteroptera have wings which are both membranous and non-membranous (they have bits of both). Koleos is a sheath, so Coleoptera are things with wings in sheaths or covers, like beetles.

  3. These are classifications and they mean:

    Coleoptra is beetles

    Hymenoptra:  Bees, wasps, yellow jackets, and ants.

    Heteroptra:  Bugs in the real sense;  stink bugs, leaf footed bugs, seed bugs, assassin bugs, bedbugs, leaf bugs and some water bugs.

    Hymenopters:  Probably hymenoptra.

    Bonus, Lepidoptra:  Butterflies and moths.

  4. John F: You spelled all of the group names incorrectly. ;)
