Talk:Chelicerae

Pictures
No offence to the person who drew the pictures, but I find them rather ugly, not to mention unclear. For one thing there is nothing to tell from what angle they are drawn (though I can guess, knowing what chelicerae are, but I'm not sure everyone can). Wouldn't a photo be a nice addition, for a start? And also this is only about spider chelicerae, when all other arachnids (and chelicerates) have them. A bit more development would be most welcome. --IronChris |  (talk) 15:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Homology?
This article mentions that "chelicerae [...] are found in place of the chewing mandibles most other arthropods have", but in fact the chelicerae are not homologous with mandibles of other arthropods, the pedipalps are, as it says in the introduction to that article. Therefore that sentence is a bit misleading. What mouthparts are the chelicerae homologous to? IronChris |  (talk) 16:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
