An adult male phlebotomine sand fly is illustrated in lateral view, highlighting external morphology. The insect (phylum Arthropoda; class Insecta; order Diptera; family Psychodidae; subfamily Phlebotominae) shows narrow, upright wings, long legs, segmented antennae, an elongated proboscis, and terminal claspers at the abdominal tip indicative of the male. In medical entomology and parasitology, phlebotomine sand flies are vectors of Leishmania parasites; only females blood-feed and transmit disease, whereas males typically consume plant sugars. The image focuses on thoracic, abdominal, cephalic, and appendicular structures.
