Figure 1 The Diptera hear near-field sound through the use of ornate antennae, vibrations of which are detected by the Johnston's organ. The hearing mechanism of A. gambiae is more sensitive when the hair-like fibrilliae on the antennal flagellum are extended, as illustrated here. (Photo courtesy of Ian Russell and Gareth Jones.)
