Important external features: 1) Antennae -- contain chemical, olfactory, tactile, and auditory receptors. Can also sense vibrations. 2) Compound eyes (vision/movement/color) and dorsal ocelli (light detection). Many insects perceive ultraviolet, blue-green and red wavelengths. 3) Specialized mouth parts – food gathering, defense.
Basic Structures of Insect Mouthparts • One labrum – upper lip • Two mandibles - jaws • Two maxillae – saw-like • One labium – lower lip Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation

1. Chewing Mouthparts • • • •
The “classic” design Cockroaches, grasshoppers, beetles, etc. Chewing lice, order Mallophaga Many immatures, including nymphs and larvae
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
BEETLES
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
2 general types: 1) mandibulate: specialized for biting off and chewing food (most nymphs) 2) haustellate: specially adapted for piercing and sucking (e.g. mosquitoes and dipterans).

Pear thrips
Gladiolus thrips
Lily bulb thrips
Greenhouse thrips
Banded thrips
Large-legged thrips
Heterothrips salicis
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
3. Piercing-Sucking Mouthparts • Hemiptera and Homoptera (true bugs) • Sheath-like labium, four piercing stylets (2 mandibles, 2 maxillae)
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
• piercing-sucking mouthparts • extraoral digestion • salivary glands • plant necrosis, animal stunning and poisoning • stylets – piercing and grooved
BUG BEAKS
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
Triatomine bug, Rhodnius
Both Hemipterans feed on blood Bedbug, Cimex
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
4. Diptera: Mosquito subtype • Six stylets enter host skin (two mandibles, two maxillae, labrum, and hypopharynx • Labium acts as protective sheath and folds back as stylets enter skin

4.Diptera: Sponging muscoid fly subtype • House fly, face fly • Labellum with labrum-epipharynx and hypopharynx form food canal
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
FLIES
Order Diptera Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
doohickies (that's a scientific word meaning "I can't remember what they are called") or An unnamed gadget
Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
4. Diptera: Louse fly subtype • Haustellum penetrates skin; labrum and hypopharynx form food and salivary canals • Louse flies (Diptera) • Hippoboscidae includes sheep ked Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
5. Lice: piercing-sucking • Ventral stylet (perhaps labium) is principal piercing organ. Intermediate stylet (perhaps hypopharynx) and dorsal stylet (perhaps fused maxillae) penetrate skin • Sucking lice Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation
6. Siphoning: Lepidoptera
