No, in fact beetles have complicated mandibles. Flies generally have simpler fused mouthparts. I studied entomology and have no clue what this comic is even saying. Maybe a joke about stingers?

As someone who knows nothing about entomology, it reminded me of this one beetle with a comically large pointy bit. I think it’s called a hercules beetle.

First thing that came to mind is the bombardier beetle, which shoot chemicals from their butts.

Are insects really that complicated?
Either they have mouth, stinger, or skin, and one of them is doing the damage.

Well some ant spew acid, some millipede puke cyanide, and some will smack you with a nail. Don’t go near that one.
