When to use antenna and antennae?

Antenna is singular - a car has a radio antenna. Antennae is plural - insects have two antennae.


What are insect feelers called?

Why is this question in chemistry? It should be in biology or entomology or something. Well, the so-called feelers are what we call antennae. Radio antennae were named after the antennae of insects. The antennae are really modified legs, much as our lower jaws are modified gill arches. Insects and other arthropods that have antennae (or "feelers") use them for various purposes. Many of them use them to feel things, but most also use them to smell or taste. Some actually use them to grasp things, such as male "fairy shrimp" that grasp females with their strong, bent antennae in mating. Male mosquitoes with their feathery antennae use them to listen for the vibration of the female mosquitoes' wings. Emperor moth males also have feathery antennae and use them to smell the sexual signal of the female. Creatures that use their antennae for finding food or hunting, usually live in the dark and come out at night if they come out at all. Some such creatures do not in fact have antennae, or if they do, the antennae are not large, or much used in hunting. Instead they have very long delicate sensitive antenna-like legs that they use in much the same way. Examples include some spiders and whip scorpions.
