Across
  1. 3. Antennae with round segments that look like a string of beads
  2. 6. Hard & powerful cutting jaws
  3. 7. Posterior most segment
  4. 11. Form a complex image of the environment; visual organ made of thousands of ommatidia
  5. 13. Lower mouth cover or Lower "lip"; represents fused pair of ancestral second Maxillae
  6. 15. Second segment in the leg; found between Coxa & Femur
  7. 16. Final segment in the leg; Contains Tarsomeres & usually ends in one or two Unguis
  8. 18. Term for antennae with wider segments towards the tip; Club-like in appearance
  9. 19. Third segment in the leg; often thickest/stoutest segment in the leg
  10. 22. Tongue-like structure in floor of mouth; salivary glands discharge saliva through it
  11. 24. Aka: Unguis
  12. 25. Antennae with an abrupt bend or elbow
  13. 26. Fourth segment in the leg; found between Femur & Tarsus, covered in spines & hairs in many species
  14. 27. Antennae with flat & plate-like segments at the tip
  15. 28. Simple Photo-receptors that are used to detect movement; "simple eyes"
  16. 30. An opening on the Thorax & Abdomen that allows insect to breathe
Down
  1. 1. Rear pair of wings on an insect with four wings
  2. 2. First segment in the leg; attaches leg to thorax
  3. 4. Term for thin & threadlike antennae
  4. 5. "Pincers" less powerful than mandibles; used to steady & manipulate food
  5. 8. Antennae with segments that have fine thread-like branches, making them look like feathers.
  6. 9. Term for antennae with segments angled to one side; look like a saw edge
  7. 10. Paired sensory appendages on abdomen of many species
  8. 12. Antennae with longer segments on one side, making them look comb-like
  9. 14. Paired sensory organs attached to an insect's head
  10. 17. Antennae that are tapered to fine points at the ends
  11. 20. The tiny individual units within compound eyes; has several photoreceptors that allow the compound eye to form a mosaic image
  12. 21. Front pair of wings on an insect with four wings
  13. 23. Anterior most segment of an insect's body
  14. 26. Middle segment
  15. 29. Upper mouth cover or Upper "lip"
