It will be observed from what has been said that the head in these creatures is to a large extent the seat of the organs of sense and alimentation. What â¦he function of the antennae may be is somewhat doubtful, the opinion of scientific men being divided. The latest researches would indicate that these organs, which have been regarded as the organs of smell and sometimes as the organs of hearing, have probably a compound function, possibly enabling the creature to hear, certainly to smell, but also, perhaps, being the seat of impressions which are not strictly like any which we receive through our senses. Tborax.âThe thorax is more or less oval in form, being somewhat flattened upon its upper surface. It is composed of three parts, or segments, closely united, which can only be dis- tinguished from one another by a careful dissection. The anterior segment is known as the prothorax, the middle segment as the mesothorax, and the after segment as the metathorax. The legs are attached in pairs to these three subdivi- sions of the thorax, the anterior pair being ^7*'^ therefore sometimes spoken of as the pro- _yi thoracic legs, the second pair as the meso- pio. pkih- thoracic legs, and the latter pair as the <<»«.â s shorter than the hind wings. On the last seg- femur; t, tibia; ment there are various appendages, which are ' mainly sexual in their nature. The L^^5. âButterflies have six legs, arranged in three pairs, as we have already seen.
