👉 Coptera are a group of insects that belong to the order Coleoptera, which also includes bees, ants, and flies. They have eight legs (legs 1-8) and wings, and are known for their ability to build complex structures using their exoskeletons. Coptera play important roles in pollination by transferring pollen from plants to flowers, as well as in the defense of their host animals through the release of toxins or chemicals that neutralize pathogens.
