Moths detect pheromones using specialized olfactory receptors on their antennae. When pheromones are present in the air, the concentration of these chemical signals will vary depending on the direction they come from. By comparing the intensity of the pheromone signal between its two antennae, the moth can determine which direction has a higher concentration and therefore navigate toward the source. This ability allows them to effectively locate mates or resources in their environment.
