The problem “there is no information available on navigation abilities of butterflies in small-scale foraging movement and whether and how they might use spatial information Bio-Zentrum University of Würzburg XXXII. International Conference Science in Practice, Osijek 2014
I. Introduction • Goal of the project: • ► Make behaviouralexperiments on butterflies • ► Explore sensory abilities • ► Identify role of internal status like hunger-level, egg-load etc • ► Explore memory and learning effects • ► Butterflies either memorize or mark host plants visited • ► Explore inference and anticipation XXXII. International Conference Science in Practice, Osijek 2014
II. Flight cage and cameras: ► Near natural environment in a flight cage ► Cameras record movements of the butterflies XXXII. International Conference Science in Practice, Osijek 2014

V. Conclusion • Already promising first results: • ► Test flight cage and consumer cameras show viability • ►Image processing is still to be developed • ► Explore memory and learning effects (in the future) • ► Explore inference and anticipation (in the future) • ►Define and improve movement model (in the future) • ►Compare model to measured trajectories (in the future) XXXII.
