Which major orders belong to Exopterygota? -Orthoptera -Psocoptera -Hemiptera -Thysanoptera
What are the main features of Endopterygota? -Immature differs from the adult in habits and aspect. -The wing primordia of larva are of internal developent -Complete metamorphosis (holometabolous)

Characteristics of Lepidoptera -Adult: body & wings covered with scales or hairs. Mouthparts = proboscis (feed on nectar or don't feed at all) -Larva: Eruciform (caterpillar like) , chewing mouthparts (phytophagous)
Characteristics of Diptera -Mesothoracic wings = halteres for balance -Saprophytic adults -Apodous larva feed on soft tissue
Characteristics of Hymenoptera -Mouthparts: jaws for chewing and modified lip adapted to suck. -Narrowing between the 1st and 2nd abdominal segment. -Types of larvae: eruciforms (phytophagous) and apodous (parasitoids) -No sex :( arrhenotoky parthenogenesis
Characteristics of Coleoptera - Chewing mouthparts both in larval and adult stage - Elytra: sclerotized mesothoracic wings - Most species are herbivores but there are also many predators.
Characteristics of Neuroptera - Predatory (both adult and larvae) - Campodeiform larvae, chewing or sucking mouthparts. They feed on small arthropods, aphids, coccids and mites. -Important families: Chrysopidae, Hemerobiidae & Coniopterygidae.
