🐜 What Are Pheromones?
Pheromones are chemical signals insects use to communicate with each other—like text messages, but with scents!
📡 Types of Pheromones
- Alarm pheromones: Warn colony of danger
- Trail pheromones: Help ants follow paths to food
- Sex pheromones: Attract mates
⚗️ Chemistry Behind It
Pheromones are often small organic molecules: alcohols, esters, or hydrocarbons. Their specific shape and smell trigger behaviors.
🌿 Why It Matters
Studying pheromones helps in pest control by disrupting communication, reducing the need for harmful pesticides.
