Wasp mouth parts. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the mouth parts of a wasp. Unlike the equivalent structure in bees (the proboscis) the wasp has a short tongue (centre) that is used for licking not sucking. There are feelers attached on each side. Other structures partially seen here are the maxillary palps (left and right). Magnification: x35 when printed at 10 centimetres across. | |
