Abstract

Clipping off a whip spider's antenniform leg tips prevents effective navigation.
As well as olfaction, clipping disrupts mechanosensation (and others).
As well as odour, whip spiders can use tactile cues to locate a familiar refuge.
Whip spider navigation probably relies on sensory cues in multiple modalities.
