Abstract
Insects have an elaborate sense of touch. Their most important source for tactile information is the pair of feelers on the head: the antennae (Figure 1; singular: antenna). The stick insect Carausius morosus is one of four major study organisms for the insect tactile sense.
The stick insect Carausius morosus (de Sinéty 1901) carries a pair of long and straight feelers, or antennae. They are the main sensory organs for touch and smell
