The body section that is responsible for sensory functions on an insect is the head. It is where the antenna is located, which perceives odors, touch, humidity, vibration, wind velocity and direction
It has 6 legs in total :)(3 pairs)
An insectivore is something that eats insects, like a spider.

The head is the section of an insect's body that is specialized for sensory functions.Specifically, the section in question is top- or upper-most in an insect. It joins to the thorax (middle region), which segues into the abdomen (last region). It will be the location of the insect's antennae for sensing, eyes for seeing, and mouth parts for tasting.
The head of an insect serves several critical functions, primarily housing the sensory organs and mouthparts. It contains compound eyes for vision, antennae for detecting chemicals and sensory information, and mouthparts adapted for feeding, such as chewing, sucking, or lapping. Additionally, the head is responsible for processing sensory input, coordinating movement, and facilitating communication with other insects. Overall, it plays a vital role in an insect's survival and interaction with its environment.
The Head
The head and the abdomen are the the regions of a grasshopper's body that is specialized for sensory functions.Specifically, sensory functions include hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and touching. On a grasshopper, they involve antennae for touching, compound eyes and ocelli for seeing, mouthparts for tasting, and tympanic membrane for hearing. Touching, seeing and chewing will be carried out in the upper (head) region while hearing will be conducted in the middle (thorax) region.
They are a sensory device - to help the insect know what's around it.
Insects' bodies are divided into three main sections: the head, thorax, and abdomen. The head houses sensory organs and mouthparts, the thorax contains the legs and wings, and the abdomen contains the digestive and reproductive systems. This segmentation allows for specialized functions in each section, contributing to the insect's overall efficiency and adaptability.
An antennomer is a section of the antenna of an insect.
Mechanoreceptor
There are 30 species of the leaf insect found throughout the world. This insect functions by eating the leaves which are responsible for giving them their green color and hiding them from prey.
