Material Properties and Morphology of Prestomal Teeth in Relation to the Feeding Habits of Diptera (Brachycera)

SIMPLE SUMMARY: The prestomal teeth are structures on the mouthparts of some fly species that rasp surfaces to expose liquids for ingestion. Here, we investigated the material properties of prestomal teeth, including their hardness, elastic modulus, the extent of sclerotization, and elemental compos...
