Summary
Hair fields near the antennal joints serve as external proprioceptors. The number of deflected hairs and the degree of deflection causes mechanosensory activity that encodes the joint angle and, possibly, joint angle velocity. In stick insects, there are seven hair fields, four on the scape (HS-joint) and three on the pedicel (SP-joint angle). The lower left drawing shows the location of these hair fields on the ventral (right antenna) and dorsal (left antenna) surfaces. Acronyms code for scape (s) or pedicel (p), hair plate (HP) or hair row (HR), and dorsal (d), ventral (v), medial (m) or lateral (l). For example, pHRvl is the ventro-lateral hair row of the pedicel.
