Question: Hamulate wing coupling apparatus is found in order- (RJ Pre PG 2017)
Options:
Mecoptera
Trichoptera
Lepidoptera
Hymenoptera
✅Explanation: Hymenoptera (bees, wasps, ants) have a unique wing-coupling mechanism called hamuli, which are small hooks that link the forewing and hindwing together during flight. This allows for more efficient flight.
📌 Other Options Explanations:● Mecoptera (scorpionflies) do not have hamuli.● Trichoptera (caddisflies) have hairs for wing coupling.● Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) have a different wing-coupling mechanism called a frenulum.
