👉 Macrochaeta is a type of insect that feeds on the sap of plants. These insects are known for their ability to extract moisture from plant tissues using their long, slender tongues. The main characteristic of macrochaeta is their specialized tongue that allows them to grab and suck up the sap, which they then use to feed on. Macrochaetas can be found in a wide range of habitats, including forests, wetlands, and arid regions.
