Insects do not have ears or a nose, so the antennas serve as the ears and nose. Through the antennas, an insect can sense vibrations like the ears do for animals. And just like the ears for humans help us to balance so do the antennae of the insects. They can smell around there environment through there antennae, and that's why one sees that they are constantly moving their antennae around them as they move about.

Antennae

"Antennae function almost exclusively in sensory perception. Some of the information that can be detected by insect antennae includes: motion and orientation, odor, sound, humidity, and a variety of chemical cues. "
