Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of a generalized insect showing the 10 body locations where functional ears (specifically those detecting far-field sounds) have been identified in insects. Each number is followed by the taxonomic group from within which these ears have been reported. However, ears may not necessarily occur in all the species within this taxa. Selected references are provided.
