|
The larvae have a non-retracting head capsule, consisting of sclerotized chitin, which bears opposing mandibles, antennae, eyespots, and various other sensory structures. |
|
Behind the mandibles, Mandibulata bear one, or more typically, two pairs of maxillae, frequently with a long palp, as in the second maxilla of Macrocyclops. |

|
Near the end of the closure, most females at Presque Isle turned around and broke down the top and sides of the entrance with the forelegs and mandibles. |
|
If the mandibles continuously carry out mastication, a large part of the finely triturated food items would be lost into the surrounding environment. |
|
For example, the long jaws of gar and needlefish arose independently and give these disparate taxa the most velocity specialized mandibles yet measured in fishes. |
|
The ant lunged at him, its mandibles clamping down on the haft of the ax. |

Thaumatomyrmex is a rarely collected but extremely distinct genus that has unique fork-like mandibles and glossy nitid integument with scattered curved decumbent setae. |
|
Changes in prey regimes exploited during larval dytiscid development should be reflected in the morphology of the cranium and cranial appendages, particularly the mandibles. |
|
The snapping ceremony is another behaviour where the neck is extended forward, the head is lowered to the level of the feet and the mandibles are vigorously snapped together. |
