Innate Nectar Plant Attraction Is Primarily Visually‐Guided but Olfactory‐Stimulated in North American Monarch Butterflies

Innate Nectar Plant Attraction Is Primarily Visually‐Guided but Olfactory‐Stimulated in North American Monarch Butterflies

ABSTRACT In flower‐visiting insects, innate sensory preferences facilitate efficient foraging strategies in complex natural environments. Here we describe a nonforced choice assay to investigate innate attraction to a common nectar resource (Lantana camara) in naïve monarch butterflies (Danaus plexi...
