Optera is a latin term and is usally associated with different insect species, such as Hymenoptera, or Lepidoptera. It loosely means winged/wing/wings
Study of wasps is known as waspology. The term wasp is typically defined as any insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita that is neither a bee nor ant
The Hymenoptera is a well-known group, and contains the ants, wasps, bees and bumblebees. Other insects like earwigs or true bugs belonging to the family [[Pentatomidae]] also show progressive forms of parental care but are rare.
Journal of Hymenoptera Research was created in 1992.
All ants are in the order Hymenoptera. That is the order of ants, bees, wasps and sawflies. People who know no better also call termites "white ants", but that is a bad name, because termites are nearly as different from ants as it is possible to be and still be an insect. Termites are more like cockroaches than ants.

The order Hymenoptera includes honeybees, bumblebees, wasps (including yellow jackets),hornets, and fire ants. Each has venom which can cause allergic reactions in humans. Of these, the largest bee is a bumblebee. A bumblebee is even bigger than the African bee. If you're asking which is the largest stinging flying venomous insect in the order Hymenoptera, it is a hornet.
