Answer 1

1. Hymenoptera

2. Blattodea

3. Coleopteran:

4. Odonata

5. Toothed Flies

6. Diptera

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Hymenoptera : membrane wings/ typically two pairs of wings, some groups wingless (ants)/ hind wings smaller than front wings, linked together by small hooks (hamuli)/ wings have few cross-veins,
2. Blattodea : insect avoiding light/ antennae slender, filiform/ pronotum oval, shield like, covering much of head and thorax/ legs adapted for running,
3. Coleopteran: hard wings/ front wings (elytra) are hard and serve as covers for the hing wings, meet in a line down the middle of the back/ hind wings large, membranous,
4. Odonata
5. Odonata : toothed flies/ antennae short and bristle-like/ compound eyes large often covering most of the head/ four membranous wings with many veins and cross veins/ base of hind wing broader than forewing,
6. Mosquitoes are insects belonging to the order Diptera, the true flies.
