Meaning of appendage!?
a projecting part of an invertebrate or other living organism, with a distinct appearance or function

Abstract ;
File:Biology Illustration Animals Insects Drosophila melanogaster head.svg.
In contrast, the commonest current use of the term is in the anatomy of the mouthparts of Diptera, particularly those in which the labium forms the bulk of the proboscis, such as in the housefly family. Typically, the labium is expanded distally into a pair of fleshy labella. In the early twentieth century it was argued that the labella are the modified labial palps, and that point of view still is seen as having merit.In flies such as the mosquitoes, that have long antennae, the labella are two separate organs, attached to the proboscis only at their bases, but in the flies with short antennae, such as the house fly, they are more or less fused to form a single structure. Flies with fused labella have food channels in the surface of the labella. These are called pseudotracheae.They form the “spongy” part of a housefly’s “tongue”.
