The sponging mouthparts consist of a fleshy, elbowed labium, at the distal end of which are large, sponge-like organs called the labella (singular, labellum). The labella is a complex structure consisting of many grooves, called pseudotrachea, which sops up liquids much like a sponge does.
The Tachinidae are a large and variable family of true flies within the insect order Diptera, with more than 8,200 known species and many more to be discovered. Most are protelean parasitoids, or occasionally parasites, of arthropods.
