Abstract
Many insects can detect acoustic signals. Insect hearing operates using either of two kinds of ears: tympanal or flagellar. These ears can be found in a wide variety of body locations. Insect ears, in conjunction with a simple but elegant auditory nervous system, can process the frequency, intensity, temporal patterns, and location of biologically relevant sound stimuli. These auditory abilities serve many important functions such as mate finding and predator avoidance. This article presents an overview of the physical properties of insect ears and the mechanism of sound processing in insect auditory systems.
