The front part of an insect's head between the eyes and above the mouth; also can mean the frontal bone in anatomy.
From Latin 'frons,' meaning forehead or front. In entomology, it retained its Latin plural 'frontes.' In anatomy, it refers to the forehead region.
Insects use their frons to sense vibrations, light, and pheromones—it's like having a sophisticated sensory dashboard on their faces!
