The queens and workers can but their sting does not have barbs like a the honeybee, so they can sting more than once. Male's cant sting because they don't have a stinger. Males have a genital capsule for mating.

No, butterflies do not sting. They do not have stingers like bees or wasps. Butterflies actually have a long, coiled tube called a proboscis that they use to sip nectar from flowers.

Of course they do, but they are not like bees. Bees lose their stingers when they sting, and then they die. Wasps keep their stingers and stay alive, and are still able to sting later on.

No. But some types of flies can bite. (Some other insects, such as wasps & bees can sting.)
