Cover Story: Few lineages have had a greater impact on the field of biomimicry than insects. Insects feed on a diverse array of nutritive solid and liquid foods, supported by specialized mouthpart adaptations that facilitate efficient feeding. Here, we review the literature on how insect mouthparts have contributed to the field of biomimicry. We frame our review in the context of the different feeding strategies employed by insects, including the biting–chewing strategy that involves mandibulate mouthparts and the piercing-sucking and non-piercing–sucking strategies employed by insects with haustellate mouthparts. Insect mouthparts offer an extensive “tool kit” from which to draw inspiration for improved or novel human-engineered analogs. View this paper
