Can an eadthworm be capable of sensing? Make your predictions below by writing YES or NO on the space provided:
____ light ____ taste
____ odor ____ touch
____ sound
Describe sensory receptors that insects have to various stimuli.
Briefly explain why it is particularly difficult for small insects to localise sound. Then describe the ways in which antennal and tympanal insects localise sound, both at the biophysical and neurophysiological level.
