The Hexapods, despite having a wonderfully large number of proved remedies, still have a large number of Orders which are entirely unproven. A list of the orders with and without provings is given below in chart form.
| Hexapod Class | Classes with Proved Members | Classes without proved members |
| Collembola | None | Entomobryomorpha
Poduromorpha Symphypleona |
| Protura | None | All families unrepresented |
| Diplura | None | All families unrepresented |
| Apterygotes | Thyansura | Monura,
Archaeognatha |
| Paleoptera | Emphemoptera Odonata |
Palaeodictyopteroidea |
| Neoptera | ||
| Exopterygotes | Dermaptera
Orthoptera Mantoidea |
Caloneurodea
Titanoptera Embioptera Zoraptera Phasmatodea, Protorthoptera Plecoptera Grylloblattodea Mantophasmatodea |
| Dictoptera | Blattoidea
Mantodea |
Isoptera
Phasmatodea Notoptera |
| Paraneoptera | Hemiptera
Phthiraptera |
Psocoptera
Thysanoptera |
| Endopterygota | Coleoptera
Hymenoptera |
Neurotoptera, Megaloptera, Raphidioptera, Strepsiptera |
| Mecopterygota | Siphonoptera
Diptera |
Mecoptera

| Amphismenoptera | Lepidoptera | Trichoptera

Thankfully most of the larger insect orders have proven members. However many major orders are still completely unproven. The Collembola, Protura and Diplura all remain unproven, with only a single proven remedy being available from the Apterygotes, and the Monura and the Archaeognatha being unreprepresnted. The Plaeoptera lack provings of the extinct Paleodictyopteroidea. The Exopterygotes lack provings of the Caloneurodea, Titanoptera, Embioptera, Zoraptera, Phasmatodea, Protorthoptera, Plecoptera, Grylloblattodea and the Mantophasmatodea. The Dictoptera lack provings of the Isoptera, Phasmatodea, and Notoptera. The Paraneoptera lack provings of the Psocoptera and Thyansoptera.
The Endopterygotes lack provings of the Neuroptera, Megaloptera, Raphidioptera and Strepsiptera. The Mecopterygotes lack provings of the Mecoptera, with Siphonoptera having only the most scanty information. The Amphismenoptera lack any provings of the Trichoptera.
Provings in any of these areas would go a considerable way towards advancing knowledge of the Hexapods as a whole.
In general terms a number of insects are particularily fascinating. I have listed a few of these below, along with descriptions .
The Tsetse fly, (Glossina species) is a fly which transmits trympanosomes which cause sleeping sickness, and are yet unpotentised and unproven. Given the close relationship of mosquitos and Malaria, a number of malarial infected mosquitoes should be potentised. If possible a female Anopheles mosquito infected with all malarial Plasmodium species should be procured and potentised as well as proven. Such a remedy is likely to have a profound curative effect, similar to that of the Deer Tick made by Alchemists apothecary, which was infected by four pathogens. Another Mosquito borne pathogen which would do well to have potentised is th West Nile Virus, currently spreading throughout North America. One fascinating species of insect to prove would be the Mad honey of the Himalayan cliff bee, Apis dorsata laboriosa. This honey is made from wild Rhodedendron flowers which impart it with relaxant, and at higher doses, hallucinogenic, emetic and muscle weakening properties, as well as causing heart irregularities[i].
The Human Bot fly, or Dermatobia honinis, would also be an excellent potential remedy, with its potential to cause subdermal infestations of Humans. As well the Oriental Rat flea, Xenopsylla cheopis, as the natural vector for plague, should also be potentised, ideally a specimen infected with Yersinia pestis. This pathogen, having caused so much death during the course of history, likely has a deep miasmatic imprint which will likely be extremely useful in treatment.
