A common house mosquito proboscis tip (Culex sp.). The proboscis contains six parts: two pairs of sharp, flexible cutters (serrated "blades" and sharp tipped "knives") surrounding a pair of fine tubes - one for sucking up blood, the other for dripping a chemical into the wound that keeps the blood flowing.
