How do insects smell? NaturaIists
are agreed that they are keenly sensi-
tive to certain odors, but they differ
widely as to the organs with which
they do 1t. The usual opinion has
been that their antennae serve them
as do our noses. But DIR. N. E. Nc
Inuoo OF the Washington bureau of
entomology points cut that those
which have no antennae smell equally
as well as those which have. He sug-
gests that certain pores at the bases
of the wings and legs are their organs
of smell, for when these are covered
with glue or vaseline they react to
perfumes only very slowly.
