Each antenna is made of seven jointed segments.Collum- The first segment just behind the head; it protects the rear surface of the head. Labrum- The area just above the mouth.Mandibles- These large, toothed cutting surfaces are used for eating; each mandible is made of two segments.Sternites- The underside of each segment, between the legs, which is relatively unprotected (also called the sternum).
