Summary
Stick insects can regenerate a leg in place of an antenna. The top image shows the head and first half of the antennae of an adult female stick insect. Each antenna has three functional segments: scape, pedicel and flagellum. If an antenna of a larva is cut at the level of the proximal pedicel (dashed line), the animal often regenerates a leg instead of an antenna during the next molt. The bottom image shows the head and antennapedia regenerates of a stick insect of the species Carausius morosus whose antennae were cut in the third or fourth instar (same scale as above).
