Topic: Tags for wasp bodies (and similar creatures)

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

As far as I can tell, there's no tag to cover the bodies of wasps, or at the very least, I have no idea what the proper tag is. We have fur, scales, feathers, and skin, but the bodies of wasps don't really fit into any of those. I'm aware of the catch-all "body" tags, but I'm sure that there are more than enough other species to warrant a unique tag for their body type. This isn't my area of expertise, so I don't know what said tag should be. Would "exoskeleton" be appropriate? It's not being used very much, and no color tags exist for it, but perhaps it could be expanded so that it can be listed alongside the other body tags (again, if it is appropriate).

Ain't insectoid parts chitin? Might be what you're looking for.

I'm not entirely sure myself, but either way, neither chitin nor exoskeleton are used very much. Before I run off and start using a tag, I wanted to see if there was a commonly used tag or if it would be possible to decide on a tag to use.
