🐜 What Are Pheromones?
Pheromones are chemical signals insects release to communicate with each other. They can warn of danger, mark trails, or attract mates.
🧪 How Do Pheromones Work?
Insects produce pheromones in special glands. Other insects detect them with their antennae, triggering specific behaviors like:
- Following a trail 🐜➡️
- Starting a defense 🛡️
- Finding a partner 💕
🐝 Examples
- Ants: Use pheromones to mark food paths.
- Moths: Use sex pheromones to attract mates from far away.
- Bees: Release alarm pheromones to warn the hive.
