    - Most arthropods possess ocelli, simple photo-receptors (light detecting organs). Ocelli do not form a complex image of the environment but are used to detect movement.
    - The compound eye is one of two different visual organs in insects. The eye is made up of individual parts known as ommatidia and each possessing an individual lens. The compound eye does not produce a visually sharp image but gives a wide field of view and is very good at detecting movement.

  • Labrum - a cover which may be loosely referred to as the upper lip.
  • Mandibles - hard, powerful cutting jaws.
  • Maxillae - 'pincers' which are less powerful than the mandibles. They are used to steady and manipulate the food. They have a five segmented palp which is sensory and often concerned with taste.
  • Labium - the lower cover, often referred to as the lower lip. It actually represents the fused pair of ancestral second maxillae. They have a three segmented palp which is also sensory.
  • Hypopharynx - a tongue-like structure in the floor of the mouth. The salivary glands discharge saliva through it.

Butterflies and Moths - the mandibles have disappeared altogether. The maxillae are elongate, channelled along their surfaces and held together by hooks and spines to form a sucking tube. This proboscis may be very long, when not in use is carried coiled up like a watch spring under the head. xueerwang https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247920562 2021-02-27 10:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247920562 c. Diving beetle larvae - have a piercing and sucking arrangement. The mandibles are each curved over to form an almost closed groove along their inner surface. The prey is caught and pierced by the mandibles. Digestive juices are pumped down the groove. The food is made into a liquid. This semi-digested soup is sucked back up again through the groove. xueerwang https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247920981 2021-02-27 10:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247920981 d. True bugs - these also have a piercing and sucking arrangement. The labium is elongated and acts as a sheath. This encloses the mandibles and maxillae which are modified as stylets for piercing. The maxillae have two tubes running along their length on the inside surface. 'Saliva' may be pumped down one of the tubes. This saliva makes the food into a liquid. The liquified food is sucked up the other tube. xueerwang https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247921628 2021-02-27 10:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247921628 e. House-fly - the proboscis shows a capillary mechanism. The labium is elongated and forms two lobes at the tip. These lobes have a series of fine tubes (pseudotracheae). The hypopharynx runs down the proboscis and digestive juices pass down this onto the food. The food is made into a liquid by these juices. This liquid is then drawn up the pseudotracheae by capillary action. xueerwang https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247922115 2021-02-27 10:25:56 UTC https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247922115 https://www.amentsoc.org/insects/fact-files/mouthparts.html xueerwang https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247926836 2021-02-27 10:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247926836 xueerwang https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247938218 2021-02-27 10:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247938218 Incomplete Metamorphosis xueerwang https://padlet.com/xueerwang/qf0onvqg3g7uahz6/wish/1247938539 This is shown by the less highly developed insects
