I'm a writer with a question--I am so sorry for that, writers with questions seem to plague the internet--but I genuinely really love bugs and I got really stuck thinking about bug anatomy.

I'm thinking about what part of an insect, of any species, could be described as "a hollow."

I have this sentence here that I absolutely love, but it has an obvious problem.

>Somewhen, in a fraction of a fraction of a second, in a gap as narrow as the hollow in the center of a beetle’s eye, it begins again.

Beetles eyes aren't hollow! No animal has a hollow in its eye, because that's not how eyes work!

Maybe we can think together? What part of an insect could be called "a hollow"?
