  2. It is often held at an angle to the body's long axis. Six pieces come together to make it.

  5. It is made up of compound eyes that are located on the head.
  6. The mouth is located in the front of the head. The labrum (upper lip) and labium (lower lip) are joined by a pair of mandibles and maxillae to form the mouth.
