Abstract
Occurrence of chordotonal organs and campaniform sensilla (pores) in w ings was compared in 15 orders of insects. It was found that these org ans are present in highest numbers in the best flyers - representative s of higher orders - as sensilla receiving information about character istics of wing deformations and changes in tension within cuticle. Sen sory organs in question are situated in the proximal part of wing.
