Insects detect pheromones through specialized sensory organs called sensilla, which are located on their antennae. These sensilla contain receptor cells that are sensitive to specific pheromone molecules. When pheromone molecules bind to these receptor cells, it triggers a series of chemical reactions that send signals to the insect's brain, allowing it to detect and respond to the pheromone signals.
