Abstract In orthopteran insects. a complex tibial organ has evolved to detect substrate vibrations and/or airborne sound. Species of New Zealand weta (Anostostomatidae) with tympanal ears on the foreleg tibia use this organ to communicate by sound. while in atympanate species (which communicate by substrate drumming) the organ is unstudied. https://fitnessgravesyardes.shop/product-category/left-front-cover/
