    If you zoom in, you can see that the “beak” is behind the leg in the foreground actually.

    This got me interested and I looked up heteropteran mouthparts. The best description I could find was here. Apparently the segmented larger part of the beak here is the labium giving support to the stylus. The stylus is the blackish tube that runs from the head through the labium.
