Linoleic acid (C18:2∆9,12, LA) is an important metabolite with numerous essential functions for growth, health, and reproduction of organisms. It has long been assumed that animals lack ∆12‐desaturases, the enzymes needed to produce LA from oleic acid (C18:1∆9, OA). There is, however, increasing evidence that this is not generally true for invertebrates. In the insect order Hymenoptera, LA ...
