Detailed explanation-1: -The two organs insects primarily use for detecting odors are the antennae and specialized mouth parts called the maxillary palps. However, a recent study has demonstrated the olfactory role of ovipositor in fig wasps.
Detailed explanation-2: -Solution: Moths and butterflies both have antennas on their heads. These aid in their equilibrium, particularly when they are flying, and allow them to take in the smells of their surroundings. Two segmented antennae make up a butterfly’s two antennae.
Detailed explanation-3: -Insects “smell” with their antennae. Pheromone-binding proteins (PBP) pick up pheromones at pores in the outside of the antenna and carry them through a watery layer to the nerve endings, where they are released.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are three parts to an insect antenna: the scape, the pedicel, and the flagellum.
