Campaniform sensilla are a class of mechanoreceptors found in insects, which respond to local stress and strain within the animal's cuticle. Campaniform sensilla function as proprioceptors that detect mechanical load as resistance to muscle contraction,[1][2] similar to mammalian Golgi tendon organs.[3][4] Sensory feedback from campaniform sensilla is integrated in the control of posture and locomotion.[5][6]
