## Abstract It is possible to monitor the electrical activity of the motor neurons of __Drosophila__ by recording the electrical activity of the muscle fibers. We have found that it is possible to specify the location of the subcuticular terminations and to describe the orientation within the thora
Bees exposed to 60-Hz electric (E) fields >I50 kV/m show field-induced vibrations of wings, antennae, and body hairs. They also show altered behavior if exposed while in contact with a conductive substrate. Measurements indicate that approximately 240 nA is coupled to a bee standing on a conductive
