===Senses===
The sensory input from her bugs is "fuzzy" and difficult for humans to interpret.<ref name="4.3c1"/><ref name="6.1c1">Well, she can’t quite hear through her bugs. As she says in 2.6, noises break down to weird and irritating pitches that she can’t quite make out.<br><br>The one real exception to this occurs at the conclusion of the ‘Shell’ arc, where she was overhearing music through a moth. But that’s an exception, not the rule. - [http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/12/13/tangle-6-1/#comment-533 Comment by] Wildbow on [[Tangle 6.1]]</ref> She can sporadically hear and see clearly, but the "signal quality" is unreliable.<ref name="6.1c1"/>

Practicing doesn't seem to produce results.<ref name="14.4c2"/> However, over time, Taylor does learn to more reliably hear through her bugs.<ref name="6.1c1"/> In her last day as Skitter she was unable to understand a phone message heard with her bugs, but was able to identify it was a recording. She was only able to discern tone of voice at "rare moments".<ref name="22.4">[[Cell 22.4]]</ref> Her ability to interpret sensory data from her insects seems to increase during periods of stress that match the emotions of her Trigger Event: in one such instance, she was able to clearly see and hear everyone in a room and beyond in detail with just a single butterfly, identifying both her dad, the PRT officers, details of their appearance, what room in the house they were in, and what exactly they were saying.<ref name="20.5"/>

Based on the combined sensory input of large numbers of insects, Taylor can gain a very clear mental picture of whatever they're interacting with.<ref name="4.3c1"/> She can also sense the biology and location<ref name="8.4c1"/> of every bug she can control.<ref name="9.1 c1">[[Leviathan|He]] doesn’t have a conventional brain, but his system isn’t so simple that Taylor can take it over. If she could have, her power would have detected & sensed him the way it usually does bugs. - [http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/04/03/cell-9-1/#comment-1564 Comment by] Wildbow on [[Sentinel 9.1]]</ref> This gives her enhanced aim<ref name="26.6">[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/03/sting-26-6/ Sting 26.6]</ref> and the ability to dodge attacks with supernatural reaction times.<ref>I didn’t hear the rest.  Behind my back, Assault moved to kick one of the desks.  It went flying into the air in the same instant I threw myself to the ground.  I could feel the rush of wind as it passed over me, hurtling into a cubicle.  I scrambled for cover.<br><br>“Prescience.  Interesting,” the Director called out, as I ducked low and used the cubicles to hide.  “We assigned you a thinker-one classification, but perhaps we fell short.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/monarch-16-2/ Excerpt] from [[Monarch 16.2]]</ref> However, in environments where bugs are scarce, or when dealing with materials that they don't interact with well, her image of the area can become less reliable.{{cite}}

Taylor also receives some knowledge of her bugs' biology from her power,<ref name="14.6">[[Prey 14.6]]</ref> giving her an understanding of their limits, capabilities and the effects of adaptions such as any venom they have.<ref name="2.6">“Yeah,” Lisa raised an eyebrow, “You do know which bugs you had biting him, right?  Black Widow, Brown Recluse, Browntail Moth, Mildei, Fire Ants-”<br><br>“Yeah,” I cut her off, “I don’t know the official names, but I know exactly what bit him, what stung him and what the venoms do.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/07/23/insinuation-2-6/ Excerpt] from [[Insinuation 2.6]]</ref>
