<h2 id="chemoreceptors">Chemoreceptors</h2>
<p>Chemo-reception is one of the most dominant senses in the insect kingdom. Many arthropods use chemical signals to locate food, shelter and mates.
</p><p>Other invertebrates have similar sensory organs also referred to as sensilla; these consist of various papillae or ciliated areas of the cuticle connected to sensory neurons and occur in <a href="/facts/Onychophora/CVn4wdwx">velvet worms</a>, <a href="/facts/Tardigrada/WQUg0IS9">tardigrades</a> and <a href="/facts/Leech/eYSMx97F">leeches</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a>
