Chemosensation and mechanosensation are vital to insects’ survival behavior, shaping critical physiological processes such as feeding, metabolism, mating, reproduction. During insects rely on diverse chemosensory mechanosensory receptors distinguish between nutritious harmful substances, enabling them select suitable food sources while avoiding toxins. These distributed across various body parts, allowing detect environmental cues about quality adjust their behaviors accordingly. A deeper understanding of insect sensory physiology, especially during not only enhances our knowledge biology but also offers significant opportunities for practical applications. This review highlights recent advancements in research feeding-related receptors, covering a wide range species, from the model organism Drosophila melanogaster agricultural human pests. Additionally, this examines potential targeting precision pest control. Disrupting feeding reproduction emerges promising strategy management. By interfering with these essential behaviors, we can effectively control populations minimizing impacts promoting ecological balance.
