Insect Mouths
Corrections:
1:30 entognathous hexapods have internal mouthparts and dictyopterans have a structure called a proventriculus in their throat used for grinding food. These parts can operate internally because they have very small and anterior molar plates, and exist in the more malleable internal throat, respectively.
11:55 *except Micropterygidae, Heterobathmia and Agathiphaga
17:53 The labium does cover the stylets, just on the proximal/base part of the proboscis
