Inspection and evaluation of host plant by the butterfly Mechanitis lysimnia (Nymph., Ithomiinae) before laying eggs: a mechanism to reduce intraspecific competition
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Field experiments showed that butterflies were able to recognize conspecific egg-clusters by visual cues and preferred to lay eggs on egg-free host plants, indicating an adjustment between the reproductive effort of the insect and the amount of food available to its offspring.
