The most diverse insect orders are the Hemiptera (true bugs), Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), Diptera (true flies), Hymenoptera (wasps, ants, and bees), and Coleoptera (beetles), each with more than 100,000 described species. We investigate these questions using whole genome data for representatives of the ‘big four’ insect orders: Diptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, and Coleoptera. These orders within the Holometabola contain a large fraction of animal species with over a million species altogether.
