The head is the hardened (sclerotized) anterior region of the body that bears the eyes, antennae, and mouthparts Head
Mouth parts • Maxillae and mandibles are called Stylets • Labium- houses the feed channel and salivary tubes • Stylets- Pierce the tissues and contain section tubes • Labrum- Acts like a scabbard • Proboscis (tongue) uncoils by an increase in blood pressure.
Two General Types of Mouthpartschewing and piercing-sucking (opened) • an – antenna • cl – clypteus • cpe – compound eye • fr – frons • la – labium • lap – labial palpus • lb – labrum • md – mandible • mx – maxilla • mxp – maxillary palpus • oc – ocellus
A – setaceous B – filiform C – moniliform D – elbowed E – clavate F – capitate G – lamellate H – ringed I – aristate J – serrate K – pectinate L – bipectinate M – plumose Types of Antennae
Setaceous Types of Antennae
- Thread like -Uniform segs. - Grasshopper -Beetles Filiform
-Bead-Like -Globular or Rounded -Usually Uniform - Common in Beetles & Termites Moniliform
Wasps, Ants, Bees, Beetles Elbowed
-Leaf like, laminated -Beatles -June -Carrion -Scarab Lamellate
Flies Aristate
- Saw like - Uniform segs. - Coleoptera only Serrate
- Comb. like - Certain moths and beetles Pectinate
Second set Bipectinate
- Feather- like - Flies and Moths Plumose
Salivary Juices • 1. Softens cell wall • 2. Anesthetizes • 3. May Pre-digest • 4. Anti Coagulants • 5. Spread diseases
- 2nd major body part - 3 segments (sometimes 4) If a 4th segment is present it is called an alitrunk. Actually seems to be the 1st Abdominal, but it’s the narrow waist in bees, ants, and wasps a) Prothorax- Bears 1st pair legs b) Mesothorax- Bears 2nd pair legs and 1st pair wings c) Metathorax- Bears 3rd pair legs and 2nd pair of wings B and C = Ptera Thorax Thorax
A – anal vein aa – anal angle am – anterior or costal margin ap – apex C – costa cc – closed cell Cu – cubitus cu-a – cubito-anal crossvein h – humeral crossvein M – media oc – open cell pm – posterior margin R – radius r-m – radio-medial crossvein Rs – radial sector Sc – subcosta General Wing
Wings • Ptera- Winged • 2 full sets of wings • Dipterous- 1 pair • Apterous- no wings • All immature insects are apterous • Wing veination for I.D.
Wing Form • - Elytra- Tough hard wing • - Hemelytra- ½ heathery ½ membranes
Tegminous • Forewing leathery • Orthortera • Membranous- clear delicate nerve like
General Insect Leg • cx – coax • fm – femur • pt – pretarsus (claws) • tb – tibia • tr – trochanter • ts – tarsus
Leg Shapes and specialization • 1. Cursorial- wacking • Legs are basically all the same size and shape • 2.Saltatorial • Saltar- To Jump • 3.Raptorial • Rrapten- Claw like • Predators • 4. Fessorial • Digging Legs
Leg Shapes and specialization • 5.Natatorial • Pre-Natal • Swimming • Flat or Paddle like • -Thorax Houses Powerful locomotors muscles for • -Leg • -Wings • Contains part of the digestive tract, circulatory system and respiratory system.
