🐜 What is Chemical Communication?
Insects use chemicals called pheromones to send messages to each other.
🧪 Types of Pheromones
- Sex pheromones: attract mates
- Alarm pheromones: warn others of danger
- Trail pheromones: guide colony members to food
🐝 How They Detect Them
Insects have specialized antennae loaded with receptors sensitive to tiny chemical signals.
🌿 Ecological Role
Chemical communication helps insects coordinate behaviors like mating, foraging, and defense, crucial for their survival and social organization.
