Insect Mouthparts

Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation

animal

Insects utilize nearly every organic substance

plant

solid liquid

Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation

Head

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

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

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).

2. Rasping - sucking

• Thrips

• Left mandible, • two maxillary stylets

Gladiolus thrips

Lily bulb thrips

Banded thrips

Heterothrips salicis

Large-legged thrips

Greenhouse thrips

Pear thrips

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

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 styletsenter skin

4.Diptera: Sponging muscoid fly subtype

• House fly, face fly

• Labellum with labrum-epipharynxand hypopharynxform food canal

Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation

• Haustellumpenetrates skin; labrum and hypopharynx form food and salivary canals

• Louse flies (Diptera)

• Hippoboscidae -includes sheep ked

4. Diptera: Louse fly subtype

Dr. PARVISH PANDYA’s presentation

• Ventral stylet(perhaps labium) is principal piercing organ. Intermediatestylet (perhaps hypopharynx) and dorsal stylet (perhaps fused maxillae) penetrate skin

• Sucking lice

5. Lice: piercing-sucking

6. Siphoning: Lepidoptera
