	Projekt "Evolutionary morphology of mouthparts in flower visiting insects" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Insect mouthparts represent extremly modified arthropod extremities which evolved with respect to different demands of food uptake.
		Convergent evolutionary trends led from ancestral biting mouthparts to derived proboscis in many groups of flower visiting insects as a result of the necessity to localize and to take up food from deep floral tubes.
		For example, adult lepidopteran mouthparts include the ancestral biting mouthparts in primarily pollen feeding moths, the proboscis of nectar feeding species which is extremly elongated in some, the highly specialized proboscis of lachryphagous, fruit- and skin-piercing species, and the derived proboscis of secondarily pollen feeding butterflies.

	Ticks
		Commonly used methods such as a hot matchhead touched to the hindparts of the tick, to covering or "painting" the tick with paint, nail polish, petroleum jelly, or gasoline may cause additional injury to the host (that's you or your pet) as well as stimulate the tick to spew out disease-causing germs.
		Because the tick is attached firmly to most hosts, rough or improper handling may result in portions of the head and mouthparts remaining embedded in the skin.
		The area of the bite should leave a small crater or indentation where the head and mouthparts were embedded.
