When a mosquito bites you, it pierces the skin using a mouthpart called a proboscis to suck up blood.

What's more, the well-preserved insects are two males of the same species with piercing mouthparts, suggesting they likely sucked blood.

This indicates that the bumblebees' mouthparts do not have mechanisms to detect and avoid common pesticides in nectar.

Experts are uncertain what the earliest lampreys fed on, whether it was small prey or even algae, but they lacked the specialized mouthparts to feed on blood or flesh from other fish.

While in orchids the length of the flower tube closely matches the length of the pollinating insect mouthparts, the island wasp has much shorter mouthparts than the bumblebee that pollinates Goodyera henryi on the mainland.
