Invertebrate - Apoidae spp.
Apoidae include all bees, both social and solitary. Bumble bees and honey bees are also part of this Hymenopteran superfamily. These insects have two pairs of membranous wings held together by hooks in flight. Apoidae have slender waists. Most bees are black or brownish in colour, but some are bright bluish-green or metallic green, while others are banded or marked with yellow or orange and black. Many bees have smooth bodies, while others are quite hairy.
