In the insect order Hymenoptera (ants, bees, wasps, and sawflies), females are produced from fertilized eggs and are diploid, whereas males hatch from unfertilized eggs and are haploid.

The honey bees (male), wasps and ants are the examples of haploid insects. The female honey bees and the sawflies are the examples of diploid insects.
Explanation:
- As you probably know, haploid means containing a "single set of chromosomes" and diploid refers having two identical chromosomal sets.
- In few insects and reduced plants, fertilization is directly followed by zygotic meiosis, which lives to the production of haploid living things. This type of life cycle is called as haplontic life cycle.
- Termites are eusocial. They possess "male and female workers" and unlike most social insects, they are diploid rather than haplodiploid.

Discuss with your teacher about:
(i) haploid insects and lower plants where cell-division occurs
(ii) some haploid cells in higher plants where cell-division does not occur.
