Explanation

Social insects are insects that live together in organized communities with a division of labor among different members. Bees (especially honey bees and bumble bees) are classic examples of eusocial insects, with queens, workers, and drones each performing specific roles. Butterflies, cockroaches, and houseflies are solitary insects and don't exhibit social behavior.
