Front legs, who needs them right? It's not only mantis who dispense of them for walking. But to be fair midgets don't really ever walk. So the sensory neurons at the tips of their legs (hence flies can taste with their feet) may here have become part of a second pair of antennae.
Microtendipes sp. midget in full double antennae mode. The bushiness of its actual antennae suggests it's a male.
