In insects, the dorsal flap or structure that extends above the anus at the tip of the abdomen.
From Greek 'epi' (upon) + 'prokt' (anus/rectum). A specialized entomological term coined to describe this specific anatomical feature unique to insect morphology.
Entomologists use 'epiproct' to identify different insect species—it's like nature's unique signature written at the very end of an insect's abdomen!
