The front wings are modified as leathery tegmina , and the hind wings are membranous. These are similar to orthopterans, but without jumping legs. They also have leathery tegmina. The forelegs of mantises are adapted for capturing prey. Many mantises and walkingsticks are well camouflaged, resembling sticks, leaves, or flowers.
Termites have a caste system which includes both males and females, and they are colonial.
Their front wings are leathery on the basal half and membranous on the distal half, hence are called hemelytra . Bugs have long, pointed, piercing sucking mouthparts. Beetles fly with their membranous hind wings, folding them under the elytra when at rest. Beetle larvae are often called grubs. Order Coleoptera has the most species of any insect order.
