Olfaction in the Florida Queen butterfly: Honey odour receptors
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1970 Abstract In an investigation of the role of olfaction in the life of the Florida Queen butterfly it has been found that honey odour can elicit proboscis extension. Selective blocking of antennal receptor types shows that only the short, thinwalled pegs are necessary for this response and only 5 to 10 per cent need be exposed for detection of honey ...

Sex Pheromone of the Queen Butterfly: Biology
Science, 1969 Males of the queen butterfly Danaus gilippus berenice , deprived of the two extrusible brushlike "hairpencils" at the rear of their abdomen, are capable of courting females but incapable of seducing them. In normal courtship, an aphrodisiac secretion associated with the hairpencils is transferred by way of tiny ...

Journal of Morphology, 1971 AbstractQueen butterflies do not mate until the male has brushed the tufts of his scented, abdominal ”︁hairpencils„ over the female's head and antennae. The trichogen cells located at the base of each hairpencil are secretory. Presumably, these cells produce the sex pheromone necessary for mating.

Sex Pheromone of the Queen Butterfly: Chemistry
Science, 1969 Two major components in the "hairpencil" secretion of the male of the queen butterfly ( Danaus gilippus berenice ) have been identified. One, a crystalline ketone (2,3-dihydro-7-methyl-1 H -pyrrolizin-1-one), is known from another danaid butterfly. The other, a viscous terpenoid alcohol (

Queen Ants Make Distinctive Sounds That Are Mimicked by a Butterfly Social Parasite
Science, 2009 Ants dominate terrestrial ecosystems through living in complex societies whose organization is maintained via sophisticated communication systems. The role of acoustics in information exchange may be underestimated. We show that Myrmica schencki queens generate distinctive sounds that elicit increased benevolent ...
