2. Very primitive hemimetabolous insects cannot fold their wings over the back. This is known as the paleopterous condition (meaning primitive wing). Most paleopterous orders are extinct — only two have survived to the present day. Match their common names with their correct order names:
4. All other winged insects are said to be neopterous (new wing). They can fold the wings down flat (unless they are secondarily wingless). In the table below, which hemimetabolous orders are classified as Polyneoptera and which are Paraneoptera?
5. Most hemimetabolous insects are scavengers or herbivores. In the table below, identify the three orders that contain exceptions to this rule. What special adaptations do these insects have for a predatory or parasitic lifestyle?
