Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. In entomology, a mass of stiff hairs like a brush; specifically, masses of bristly hairs on the outside of the tibiæ and tarsi, or on the lower surface of the abdomen, of many bees, used to collect and carry grains of pollen which become entangled in them. Also called pollen-brush and sarothrum.
Examples
“Both features help pollen grains adhere to their bodies, but they also have specialized pollen-carrying structures; in most bees, this takes the form of a structure known as the scopa, which is on the hind legs of most bees, and/or the lower abdomen (e.g., of megachilid bees), made up of thick, plumose setae.”
“Miles had a fancy deck of Italian cards and taught her a game called scopa.”
“Honey bees, bumblebees, and their relatives do not have a scopa, but the hind leg is modified into a structure called the corbicula (also known as the "pollen basket").”
“In addition, scopa should call the department to report all the transactions that have taken place if any.”
