  1. #Mouthparts in #mites of the #Acariformes are usually normal shaped as typical for #arachnids. The #chelicerae are the feeding organs consisting of digitus fixus and d. mobilis. #Pedipalps have sensing functions with different kinds of #sensoryorgans. In #Histiostomatidae (#Astigmata) the whole #gnathosoma is modified into a complex #filterfeeding organ that creates an #underpressure on #food surfaces.

  6. #Camelspiders (#Solifugae, #Arachnida) have particularly shaped #chelicerae. In my 2010 #video (#reedited) #details of the #prey #catching #behavior and how the #chelicerae function, when crushing the prey, can be observed. Visible is the species #Galeodes #arabs.
