The antennae of insects are highly specialized and complex receptor organs which respond to diverse stimuli of different modalities cf. Schneider (1964). The following report deals with one aspect only: The perception of air currents in flying insects. This will be illustrated by behavioral and electrophysiological studies in the blow fly, Calliphora erythrocephala.
