The original answer posted for this question was, "because there poop heads". Unfortunately, this is not very helpful, though I am sure we all appreciate the effort that went into providing that answer. If you were to capture a handful of different insects, you would notice that they all have different shapes for their antennae. The overall structural design is a result of the insects adapting in various ways to increase the surface area for their sensory cells. So, if the antennae are full of sensory cells, what exactly do those sensory cells do? Good question. All insects use their antennae for somewhat different purposes, though in most cases an insect would be able to detect heat, air movement, vibration caused by sound, touch, and even taste and smell.
