V. M. G. B. D. T. A. K. A. N. (V. M. G. B. D. T. A. K. A. N.)

V. M. G. B. D. T. A. K. A. N. stands for "Vespula vulgaris, myrmecophile gland-bearing, dorsal thoracic and abdominal knots." It refers to specific morphological features observed in certain insects, particularly wasps, where specialized glands are located on the dorsal (top) parts of their thorax and abdomen, forming knot-like structures. These features are important for identification and understanding their physiology, especially in relation to communication, defense, or parasitic relationships with other species. Essentially, it highlights distinctive gland placements that help researchers classify and study these insects more precisely.
