The insect head is composed of sclerites that form the cranium. There are three main types of insect heads - hypognathous, prognathous, and opisthognathous - which differ in the orientation of the mouthparts. Antennae are jointed sensory appendages found in pairs on the insect head. They can have various shapes including filiform, capitate, clavate, geniculate, moniliform, pectinate, serrate, aristate, plumose, lamellate, and flabellate. The basic segments of antennae are the scape, pedicel, and multiple flagellomeres.
