DESCRIPTION
Insect antennae have long fascinated scientists with their remarkable ability to detect an array of environmental stimuli, from vibrations and surface textures to magnetic fields. These diminutive sensory organs display a level of perceptual acuity that often surpasses that of human skin, enabling insects to navigate complex environments and make sophisticated decisions.
