antennal
Pertaining to feelers
Antennal means relating to or involving antennae—the sensory appendages on the heads of insects, crustaceans, and other arthropods.
The word appears almost exclusively in scientific contexts: antennal segments, antennal sensory receptors, antennal grooming behavior.
The singular antenna yields the adjective antennal rather than the awkward "antennaed."
