    Can they actually bite using those things or are there just there to look scary?

      On the Giant Water Bug (bottom left) they aren’t even mouthparts, those are it’s first pair of legs.

          You should start a sexy bug leg/mouthparts community.

        isn’t that technically how it works for all arthropods? Anything vaguely limb-like is in fact a heavily derived leg, including antennae.

      Afaik, only the ant bites. The others use them for flinging opponents or grappling with them.

      Unlike me, I grapple so I can bite
