- URI: http://eol.org/schema/terms/body_symmetry
- Definition: overall repetitive or reflective pattern in the body of one individual of this taxon. eg: bilateral symmetry, rotational symmetry, radial symmetry
show all records
bilaterally symmetric
- URI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PATO_0001324
- Definition: being symmetric about a plane running from frontal end to caudal end (head to tail), and having nearly identical right and left halves
show all records
developmental mode
- URI: http://eol.org/schema/terms/DevelopmentalMode
- Definition: Broad recognized categories describing development, the process by which organisms grow and mature
show all records
ametabolous
- URI: http://eol.org/schema/terms/ametabolous
- Definition: Development of insects without the process of metamorphosis, resulting in little change in body form during growth and molting.

visual system
- URI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0002104

stemmata
- URI: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0000046
- Definition: Eye-spots which may be set into a pit to reduce the angles of light that enters, to allow the organism to deduce the angle of incoming light. Lens-like structures may be present, but stemmata, unlike lens eyes, cannot form an image, either for lack of refractive power or retinal resolution.
show all records
wing morphology

- Definition: Qualities pertaining to the size, shape or structure of the wing.
show all records
primarily apterous
