ABSTRACT Animals perceive their surroundings by using various modalities of sensory inputs to navigate locomotion. Nocturnal insects such as crickets use mechanosensory mediated antennae under dark conditions. Active sensing with voluntary antennal movements improves spatial information, but it remains unclear how accurately the can surrounding space system. Crickets exhibit escape behavior in response a short air-puff, which is detected abdominal organ called cerci and perceived “predator...
