Related to Somewhere an Ornithologist Is Crying and Somewhere a Paleontologist Is Crying, this trope covers grievous errors concerning insects and arachnids (spiders, scorpions, mites, etc.). One common example is humans imposing inappropriate gender roles on insects. Often, the colonies of eusocial hymenopteran insects (bees, wasps, and ants) are depicted in cartoons as having male workers, whereas in Real Life, all the workers are female. (The "no male workers" rule applies only to eusocial insects in the order Hymenoptera, however. Termites are eusocial and they have both male and female workers.) Another example is the appearance a blood-sucking male mosquito. Only female mosquitoes suck blood.
