Maybe an unusual request, but does anyone know of any studies on the mechanisms of horsefly or deerfly mouthparts? I would look for one myself but I get really grossed out by the far too common images on the internet of horseflies and deerflies biting people. There's a 1951 study that goes into horsefly anatomy, with a section that goes into mouthparts. I have full access to it with a JSTOR account; if you can't access it, I might just send you screenshots of the relevant section. www.jstor.org/stable/25077628This publication below can be accessed via Sci-Hub, and it goes somewhat into the mouthpart function of Philoliche. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780128140437000169

I didn't previously know Philoliche had mouthparts like it does, for example. When I finish that and get to the JSTOR study, I'll ask you if I don't have access. Appreciate that you might be able to send screenshots.
