Alternation of Generations
Some insects undergo reproduction that involves alternation of sexual and asexual generations. Typically, females produce both males and females but at some point females cease producing males and produce only females parthenogenetically. Later generations then commence production of males again, allowing sexual reproduction to occur before the parthenogenetic cycle begins again. This occurs most often in Hymenoptera and Hemiptera.
