The performance of free-flying and harnessed honeybees has been studied in a variety of
experiments patterned after those in which learning in vertebrates has been studied …

Here we examine the ability of butterflies to learn colour cues in two different behavioural
contexts, nectar foraging and oviposition, more or less simultaneously. We first trained …
