The Mouthparts of Female Blood-Feeding Frog-Biting Midges (Corethrellidae, Diptera)

Abstract : Simple Summary Female frog-biting midges exclusively feed on blood from frogs. They are attracted by the calling of male frogs and search for specific feeding sites on their host’s body. To feed, these blood-feeding midges use a very short proboscis that is composed of six piercing structures and an enclosing component. We analyzed the morphology of the mouthparts using SEM and compared these with the well-studied proboscises of other blood-feeding flies.
