Entomologists have known for a while that insects can communicate with each other—through vibrations that they typically make using body parts like legs or wings. Some communicate using sound, others produce water ripples and air currents, or generate tremors on the surfaces where they reside.
What are four ways insects communicate?
- Tactile communication: “The touch”
- Chemical communication: “smell and taste”
- Auditory communication: “the hearing”
- Visual communication: “The sight”
How do flies communicate?
A fly can communicate with each other by making vibrations through their body parts like wings or legs. They can also communicate by using various sound effects like tremors on the surface they are in, creating air currents and water ripples.
