hymenopteron

Let us question the insect, then: not the first that comes along, but the most gifted, the Hymenopteron.

Here, of a surety, is a Hymenopteron deprived of that sense of direction which other Hymenoptera enjoy.

If any one sees a rudiment of reason in this Hymenopteron intelligence, he has eyes that are more penetrating than mine.

I am too familiar with the amorous contests of the Hymenopteron clan to allow myself to be mistaken.
