mouth part has two legs and proboscis. Its legs are covered with
many hairs and its proboscis has scales. Also, the proboscis is
covered with hairs. The size of the mouth part is too big to get
whole image in one picture, so several images are combined together.
The pictures are taken on December 22nd under light field.
