“…This is indicated in the choice experiment where the sensory blocking agent is applied to the palpi and legs and the mites were unable to locate the food source in contrast to those mites without the blocking agent which attempted to feed on the discs with ground up tissue. Chemosensory cues are also used by predaceous stonefly nymphs to detect the mayfly immatures that are a major food source (Martinez, 1987). Marine crustaceans also employed antennal and leg sensilla in locating a food source (Derby and Atema, 1982;Moore et al, 1991).…”

Silver nitrate staining of the solenidial and eupathidial sensilla on the palpi, tarsi and tibiae of legs I and II of Arrenurus acutus, Geayia ovata, Mideopsis reelfootensis and Albia caerulea, along with ultrastructural studies, showed that these setae have a porous shaft cuticle. These setae are hollow and contain dendrites in their lumens and more than one neuron is associated with each setae. Behavioural experiments supported the involvement of these sensilla in the perception of chemical cues from prey and sexual partners.
