“…Conspicuous objects initiate innate behavior in many insects, including ants (fruit flies: (Gotz, 1987; Strauss and Pichler, 1998; Wehner, 1972), locusts: (Wallace, 1962), ladybirds: (Collett, 1988), mantids: (Poteser and Kral, 1995), leaf hoppers: (Brackenbury, 1996), ants: (Buehlmann et al, 2020a; Buehlmann et al, 2020c; Collett, 2010; Graham et al, 2003; Heusser and Wehner, 2002; Voss, 1967)), with many of these innate behaviors being ecologically tuned (e.g. prey detection, predator avoidance or landing site detection).…”
