Definition: Anthicidae are a family of insects in the order Hymenoptera, consisting mainly of predatory species that feed on honeydew or sap. They include bees, wasps, moths, and ants. Anthicidae have various characteristics: they are found primarily in warm climates, but some species can be found in colder regions. Some anthids can fly, which is different from other honeybee species such as the yellowbush bee. The family's most prominent members are Apis mellifera (the black-banded worker) and Apis cerina (the yellow bumblebee).
