Which of the following insects uses siphoning mouthparts?

Moths use siphoning mouthparts, which are specialized structures adapted for feeding on liquids, particularly nectar from flowers. This type of mouthpart consists of a long, coiled proboscis that can extend to reach deep into blossoms. The design allows moths to effectively draw up fluids, much like a straw, facilitating their feeding on liquid substances. This feeding mechanism is crucial for their role in pollination as they transfer pollen between flowers while feeding.

In contrast, crickets possess chewing mouthparts that are suited for grinding food, primarily plant material. Silverfish also have chewing mouthparts, used for consuming carbohydrates and other organic matter found in their environment. Earwigs have pincers and chewing mouthparts meant for gripping and chewing their food. Each of these insects has mouthparts uniquely suited to their feeding habits, which does not involve siphoning like those of moths.
