Pheromone-regulated anemotaxis in flying moths

J S Kennedy et al. Science. .

Abstract

Certain male moths flying upwind toward a scent-producing female appear to be guided anemotactically by optomotor reactions to the ground pattern. Loss of the odor stimulus changes the anemotactic angle from into wind to across wind with left-right reversals.
