the paired, segmented, sensory appendages located on the head of an insect, millipede, centipede, sowbug, etc.
Two parts of the insect's body, attached to the head. Antennae are used for smelling, hearing, tasting, or feeling.
a thin movable sensory organ found in pairs on the heads of some organisms, including insects and crustaceans.

The antennae are the bee's organs of touch and smell. They are used for detecting fragrances and finding nectar. By feeling with her antennae, the worker bee can determine the size, shape, and thickness of comb cells. Sensory organs at the tips of the antennae enable foraging bees to distinguish scents on the body hairs of a scout bee when she returns to the hive. This tells foragers what kinds of nectar to look for when they leave the hive.
The feelers on the top of a crayfish's head that help to hear and feel the world around
Long feelers situated close to the eyes of butterflies. In Papilionoidea the antennae end in bulging tips called clubs, whereas in Hesperioidea they have hooked tips and the club is found just before the tip. [More
are the longer, outer pair of "feelers" and are used for touching and sensing other crabs and objects.
A pair of long, jointed, flexible structures on the head used to sense the surroundings. Compare with tentacle.
Sometimes used (incorrectly) as plural for antenna. Correct usage is for insects and other biological entities.
Antennae (singular antenna) are sensory appendages attached to the head of some adult insects. Antennae are used for the sense of smell and balance. Butterflies have two segmented antennae with a small club at the end of each. Moths have antennae without the club. Larvae (caterpillars) have tiny sensory antennae.
Sensory appendages (feelers) on apex of butterfly's head
one pair of segmented appendages located on the insect head
All insects are equipped with two antennae which extend from their head. These two structures have a number of different purposes, including: 1) Sensory organs for the females in detecting their environment, and for some species' males in detecting the pheromones which the females emit.
Jointed organs appended to the head in insects, Crustacea and centipedes, and not belonging to the mouth.
(An- ten-nee; singular: antenna): a pair of segmented sensory appendages located on the head.
Feelers, in the bug world. They provide roaches with their sense of smell.
Located at the top of the dragonfly's head, these bristle like projections help the dragonfly sense it's surroundings. It is thought to aid in the capturing of prey at night and may also serve as airspeed indicators.
Pair of feelers on the head of insects that are used for smell and touch
Sensory organs located on an insect's head used mostly for smell and hearing.
Feelerlike appendages located on insects' heads above their mouth parts
Flexible sensory appendages (occurring in pairs) on the heads of some invertebrates
Sensory appendages arising from the front of the head
the first pair of head appendages in arthropods, primarily sensory in function; feelers.
