The obvious answer would be yes, if you squash them they probably do.
However, that is not what I meant.
They are so close to the ground and all sorts of aromas may abound.

Oh, skybright1 beat me to answering this question. They must have some sense of smell to sniff out the right kinds of leaves and shoots.

Maybe its all in their feet – well, foot. Maybe they can sense the new shoots growing with thier slippery, silve ooze making foot. I mean, where would they keep their nose? Their eyes are on their antennae, which doesn’t leave much room for noses!

My first reaction was yes they are stinky slimy horrible things… but then actually read what you had typed in 🙂 Very interesting, as Skybright has pointed out they must have to know. Luckily here on the coast we do not have so many, mostly caterpillars eating up everything beautiful!!
