Lobsters have olfactory sensory neurons, located in the aesthetasc sensilla on their antennules, which allow them to detect the pheromones in the urine of other lobsters.
A dominant male lobster will pee to signal his dominance and deter other males from his territory. Females may also pee to signal their readiness for mating, and the urine of a dominant male can attract females.
Lobsters also communicate through touch and by using their claws, but no one really gives a fuck after reading about the pee thing.
Im interested in the claw communication! How does that work?
Also, the pee stuff is hilarious
Mostly as a show of strength and territorial control. Nothing unexpected. It’s not as nuanced as their pheromone communication.
Ah, so just kinda slappin claws.
Tl;dr lobsters have a major piss fetish
Lobster: I can’t understand what you said, please piss it slower for me.
It won’t help, the other lobster has diabetes, so it pisses with an accent.
Thanks for the laugh.
