🐜 What Are Pheromones?
Pheromones are chemical signals insects use to communicate with each other — like invisible messages in the air!
🧪 Types of Pheromones
- Alarm pheromones: Warn others of danger 🆘
- Trail pheromones: Help find food or return home 🍽️🏠
- Sex pheromones: Attract mates ❤️
- Aggregation pheromones: Gather insects together for defense or mating 🤝
📡 How Insects Use Them
Ants leave a chemical trail to food sources. Moths send out sex pheromones detectable miles away!
🧬 Human Applications
