Biting, chewing, crushing, cutting, grinding, lapping, piercing, sipping, slashing, sponging, and sucking are ways that leaf-eating bugs eat with their mouths. The way of eating depends upon the part of the leaf that the bugs eat, be it chlorophyll-rich tissue, nutrient-rich xylem or sugar-rich phloem. Beetles use mouthparts as pliers, flies as sponges, mosquitoes as needles, and butterflies as straws.
