I've reblogged this before but I'm realizing a LOT of people think insect mouths are as simple as just a pair of mandibles. As you can see, it is actually a whole device. A complete doohickey. There's a lot of bits to it.

So, she has little mouth-hands that she uses only for Mouth Reasons, am I getting that right?

[bogleech]

That's exactly what they are, they evolved from legs! The ancestors of arthropods were animals like the lobopodia who were just worms with lots of limbs

An insect's head is like if evolution took the first few segments of one of these things and mushed them into a ball, so all the legs on those segments would cluster together around the mouth, becoming not only the mouthparts but also the antennae!

I wish the woolly chafer beetle was as big as a rabbit and I could have one as a pet
