Figure 2 in Comparative morphology of the skeletal parts of the sting apparatus of bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea)

Figure 2. Variation in overall appearance of the sting apparatus in bees and apoid wasps. Anterior to the left, scale bar = 1 mm. (A) Tachytes, dorsal view, (B) Orphana, ventral view of partially flattened apparatus with second rami pushed out of position towards the anterior. (C) Stenotritus, ventral view of partially flattened apparatus. (D) Ctenocolletes, ventral view. (E) Trachusa, ventral view of slightly flattened apparatus. (F) Osiris, lateral view with inset showing dorsal view of all but the sting shaft; 7th hemiterga omitted in both parts of this figure; the sting has been pulled down from the rest of the apparatus, and so for the sting shaft the anterior end is towards the top of the figure.
