Definition:

Process of anterior femur: The femur is the third part of an insect's leg. The five parts are: coxa-trochanter-femur-tibia-tarsus. The same word, femur, is used in medicine to describe the thigh-bone of humans. The femur of many insects, including mole crickets, does somewhat resemble a human thigh. The femur of one or the other (it does not matter which) of the front pair of legs should be examined.
